> retitle 236330 [s390] Can not work on s390 because parted does not support s390 disk labels
Bug#236330: Doesn't support s390 disk labels
Changed Bug title.
> retitle 239300 [sparc32] Can not create disk label on the second scsi disk. Because this was sun disk label the COMMIT and UNDO commands were issued immediately but UNDO does not find on the disk the newly created disk label. Has /var/log/partman.
Bug#239300: partman won't use second scsi disk -- sparc32
Changed Bug title.
> retitle 241785 On two identical IDE disk with equal number of partitions assigning mount point of a partition on the second disk assignes a mount point on the first instead. However afterwards the partition on the second disk can be selected to be mounted and the partition on the first disk deselected.
Bug#241785: installation-reports
Changed Bug title.
> retitle 246909 merged
Bug#246909: debian-installer: Manual partitioning modifies wrong device
Changed Bug title.
> retitle 243024 Unable to modify disks on a machine with Mylex Acceleraid 170 RAID controller (DAC960 controller). This is because of the unusual partition scheme used by the driver: the first logical disk is /dev/rd/c0d0 and the partitions are /dev/rd/c0d0p1, /dev/rd/c0d0p2, etc. Howerver parted expects the naming scheme to be the usual for devfs (../disc, ../part1, ../part2, and so on). As a result partman attempts to mount/format unexisting devices. I do not know how to fix this. In my opinion this is not a bug in parted but in the DAC960 driver.
Bug#243024: Unable to install servers using the DAC960 driver
Changed Bug title.
> retitle 236178 The file system packages contain duplicated templates and this creates extra work for translators. I intend to fix this incrementaly - only the templates whose text chages for some reason will be merged.

Bug#238380: Includes in the menu an item to undo the changes even when no changes can be undone
Severity set to `minor'.
> retitle 238388 Allows to modify partition tables of disk with used partitions and no warning is issued that the kernel will not be able to reread the partition table. I suppose that the best fix for this is: 1. warn the user that the disk is used so a reboot will be required; 2. when the partitioning finishes displays a messages that the system should be rebooted and exits to the main menu of the installer.
Bug#238388: Allows to modify already mounted partitions (for example USB card with the installer)

> retitle 241476 The <back> button from the main partitining menu should return to the automatical partitioning dialog
Bug#241476: partman: automatic/manual switch not consistent with d-i
Changed Bug title.
> retitle 242114 Finds no partition table on a disk with partition table recognisable by fdisk. Parted also can not read this disk and complains for unaligned partitions even when used on an empty disk. I have observed something similar on a machine whose BIOS thinks that the best access mode for this disk is "Normal" instead of "LBA". At first I supposed that this is some bug in parted but then during my tests I found that Win95 could not boot from this disk (I have not tried with newer versions of Win). When I went to BIOS and changed the access mode from "Auto" to "LBA" all problems disappeared.
Bug#242114: partman: parted does not read existing partitions

> retitle 243648 Sets the partiton type of a swap partition to 83 instead of correct 82. I suppose that the partition table was not changed during the installation and the swap partition had type 83 before the installation.
