Package: debian-installer Version: lenny rc1 Severity: important I have a virtualbox virtual machine with a 2.00GB disk (2GiB, actually) in which I have failed to install lenny using http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso because I get the error screen that I attach when I assign the mount points to the previously existant partitions. The disk was partitioned with cfdisk using the sequence of commands "logical partition - size 200 - at the end - another logical - size 1000 - at the end" so that I got this partition table: # fdisk -lu Disk /dev/hda: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4161 cylinders, total 4194304 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1849680 4194287 1172304 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1849743 3803183 976720+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 3803247 4194287 195520+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris When performing an expert install, in the "Partition disks" step, I selected "Partitioning method: Manual", / at partition #5, swap at partition #6. After the confirmation question my partitions had changed to: Disk /dev/hda: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4161 cylinders, total 4194304 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00021bbf Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1849742 4194287 1172273 5 Extended /dev/hda5 1849743 3803183 976720+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 3803247 4194287 195520+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris If I try to reinstall with this new partition table the error happens again. This might be an example of the #440446 bug
