Comments/Problems:

The laptop came pre-installed with Windows 7, which I wanted to keep for
possible use with KVM. Before starting the install, I booted into
Windows to create the "restore" media (in which the only option is
"restore the hard drive to the original factory state").

Also before installing, I adjusted the BIOS settings to disable the
Intel AMT and enable the Virtualization Technology options.

Starting the install, I chose "Expert Install"; as noted on the known
issues, the graphical version is currently non-functional. I noted many
warnings from udev about "SYSFS" being obsoleted by "ATTR"/"ATTRS", all
in brltty.rules.

I made use of the "Continue installer via SSH" option, as I didn't want
to sit in the other room where the wired network connection was. It
worked flawlessly.

I chose the manual partitioning mode, since as mentioned above I wanted
to keep Windows 7. The option to resize the Windows partition seemed to
work fine, even without defragmentation it would allow me to resize as
low as 25.1 GB. But ntfsresize was S-L-O-W! It sat at 0% for long enough
that someone might have thought the installer froze, and then instantly
went to 100% at the end. As a side note, while waiting for ntfsresize I
poked around the shell. I guess I understand why nano was chosen, but I
would greatly have preferred nvi.

When creating partitions, I messed around with creating some encrypted
partitions, but I eventually decided not to; the partition manager would
not allow me to remove them easily. I forget how I eventually managed to
get rid of them.

The rest of the installer went well, but when I eventually tried to boot
into Windows again it gave me an "unmountable boot volume" error (after
getting a good fraction of the way through the boot). And since my only
option was to wipe everything out back to the original state, that's
what I did.

This time, before beginning the install I used the "Disk Management"
program included in Windows to shrink the Windows partition to the
approprate size. The install went just as before. Interestingly, the
"restore to factory condition" apparently didn't wipe the unused space:
despite having to use GiB instead of GB in the Windows Disk Management
program I apparently got the LVM partition in the same place so the
installer picked up all the LVM partitions I had created earlier.
Unfortunately, I still had to delete and recreate them all because the
partitioner wouldn't allow me to actually assign mountpoints to those
partitions.

This time, Windows was happy to boot from grub. I guess something about
Windows 7 must have broken ntfsresize.

One final note, regarding the installation guide: It was somewhat
amusing to read the advice of MB-sized partitions when I had 200 GB to
play with. I ended up leaving 160 GB of the LVM volume unused for
future expansion.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are (very) old, between 2.5 and >4 years (so thats 2 releases ago).

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
