Bug#219498: more info
Hi!
I thought I had added this info, but I've looked now and I cannot see it
here, so I'm sending it "again".
Well, the thing is that I have managed to reproduce this in two more
machines, and I have gathered enough info to get the pattern that makes this
bug appear.
This bug appears on every machine where I have installed sbm as my master
boot record, it has happened on my laptop, which has a 20 gigs disk with
just two partitions, and also a 40 gigs disk with 3 partitions.
So, to be able to replicate this bug install sbm (available in Debian), into
the mbr of your hard drive and then try to use find-partitions on it.
This is what new find-partitions in sid (0.20) outputs on my laptop when run
in my installed debian (no devfs available):
/dev/hda fat16 19 GiB
/dev/hda1 512 B
/dev/hda2 512 B
However, find-partitions in beta-2 cds (0.19) and the one in latest sid_d-i
(0.20) outputs this:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 fat16 19 GiB
While the partition the HD has is like this:
/dev/hda1 1 2400 19277968+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 2401 2432 257040 82 Linux swap
Hope this helps a bit.
I really believe this problem should be solved. If you cannot reproduce it
by installing sbm in your HD, just tell me and I'll try to investigate the
problem even more.
Regards...
