Does parted recognise the partition table?

So it shows the whole disk space as being "FREE SPACE"? Or it shows a
line for the disk with no partitions below it? If it is the last case
that the situation is the following: parted detects no partition table
on the disk. There is no error in a disk with no partition table and
thats why partman didn't issue error message.
If parted doesn't recognise your partition table, please send a bug
report against parted. Otherwise it would be nice if you could retry
the installation and send me /var/log/partman.
