Package: partman-base Version: 90 Since the switch to 2.6 with udev, partman lists floppy disks as valid targets for installation (if the floppy module is loaded). The change seems to be that before we only had /dev/floppy/*, while we now also have /dev/fd0. Apparently parted_devices includes the latter when scanning for devices: # ls -l /dev/fd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 7 09:50 /dev/fd0 -> floppy/0 # parted_devices /dev/scsi/h0st0/bus0/target0/disc 2147483648 VMware, ... /dev/floppy/0 1474560 Unknown Moving /dev/fd0 out of the way gets rid of the floppy line: # mv /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0.sv # parted_devices /dev/scsi/h0st0/bus0/target0/disc 2147483648 VMware, ... I think floppy devices should be suppressed as they are not valid targets for installation.
