Public bug reported: ppc/alternate 20060914: Originally, my HD had three partitions: bootstrap, swap, root (plus a very tiny powerpc-specific one right at the start). I deleted the swap and root one and then chose to automatically partition the free space. This created a second bootstrap partition, and (I assume) yaboot was installed into the second one. After installation, I could not boot the new system; I assume it used the first, original, bootstrap partition.
So there should be either a warning about multiple boostrap partitions, or the automatic partitioner should re-use an already existing one. ** Affects: partman (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- [powerpc] automatic partitioner creates second boot partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/60397 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
