Package: debian-installer Version: Lenny (tester) I got up to the grub installation stage. I couldn’t
remember the drive it had been working on (and why didn’t it have that
drive as the default by now?? I’d just finished the software downloading
and installations). So I selected ‘go back’ and went up the partitioning
stage again to look. Once the drive structures came up and I had the drive
name, I selected ‘go back’ and then went back down to ‘grub’
stage. But instead it then loaded Partitioner again. Everytime I try and select a different stage, it instead
just loads the partitioner. Okay, fine, so in partitioner I select ‘undo partition
changes’, but that doesn’t fix the problem. Next time I’m
sent back into Partitioner I select the other option to continue to next step
with changes and in next step wherein it is asking ‘are you sure? This
will write a new partition table’ I select ‘No’, but this too
doesn’t get me out of partitioner and back to the stage I was on before. What is left to try? Someone on IRC suggested that I
could continue forward with the partition step and it would ask if I wanted to
continue with a dirty partition/install and it wouldn’t go through all the
software downloading and installing again. So I tried that by selecting ‘yes
write the new partition table’ and it then went straight to re-formating
the drive. Arrrgh!!! |
