Comments/Problems:

Partitioning the harddisk (standard 15GB PATA disk) fails with
the message "Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition".
This happens

a) when using "guided partitioning" and 
b) when partitioning manually and trying to create more than one
   partition

Creating the first partition works without problems, but as soon
as one tries to add another partition, the aforementioned error
occurs. When one creates just a root partition (no swap etc.), the
rest of the installation process works normally.

Attached is a partman log from an installation attempt with
manual partitioning. Creating only the root partition worked,
trying to add an additional swap partition failed as described
above.

Regards,
Karsten

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, more than 2.5 years.

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
