Package: partman Version: 48 Installation using debian sarge 20040731 d-i netinst iso on a sparcstation5 system with one internal scsi hdd.
Partman menu offered me the choice to create a LVM partition, and I wanted to try it, so I did the following : - first I created a bootable reiserFS root partition and a swap partition, then a LVM partition. - I selected the "configure LVM" menu entry, had a message box telling that changes must be applied first, I said ok and had a message telling me that a kernel module was missing, then I was offered with partman menu again. -> I think that the menu entry should not be displayed if the kernel module/tools are not present. - frustrated but motivated :), I decided to continue the installation process and a message was then displayed telling me that no change was written and that it may lead to further problems. -> I think this message should not appear is the partition scheme was changed in a way or another between the moment partman was launched and the moment we live it, otherwise it might be quite confusing. BTW : on first boot, the hard drive was found, but no partition was shown in the partman menu under the drive's name. The disk had a 2,1 GB openbsd partition on it. Selecting the harddrive in the partman menu lead to an untranslated error message : "input/ouput error during read on /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/disc".I could not reproduce this problem so I just post it as a note
