I've tried it several times, but I'll re-try it this evening in order to 
produce the /var/log/partman file.
I do not use LVM.
The architecture is i386, to be precice:
A7m266 Motherboard with AMD-761 VIA-686B chipset.
Disks: IDE (2x, but using the master for this installation only)
Partitioning: Two NTFS partitions at the beginning of the drive.
The first (bootable) partition does have LILO in it's MBR. (residue of 
an old Woody installation)
