It is not fixed (image downloaded yesterday), unfortunately: same message about having to load 
"lvm-mod", although when trying to do so with "modprobe", it complains that there is no such 
module.
So I still can't install if I want to use LVM from the start.

And another (small) problem:
I don't have PCMCIA, but I don't specify it as a boot parameter because of length
constraints as you indicated in your reply.  Hence d-i asks whether it should start PCMCIA
(claiming that those devices are present).  I answered "no", but then later on, it asked it
again, twice.


Best regards,

Gilles
