Dear all,
I have tested today's build of Debian-Installer, and the bug is still there.
To summarise:
- On that machine, the drive's name is /dev/xvda1.
- Partman handles this by making partitions called /dev/xvda1p1 /dev/xvda1p2 /dev/xvda1p5
- The installation then fails as there are no such devices.
Have a nice Sunday,
