Bug#253575: Default partitioning doesn't create a space for ELILO



tag 253575 d-i
clone 253575 -1
clone 253575 -2
reassign -1 kernel-image-2.6.4-ia64
retitle -1 does not depend on module-init-tools
reassign -2 partman-auto
retitle -2 needs ia64 specific recipe for elilo fat16 partition
reassign 253575 netcfg
retitle 253575 does not say how to use different port on mirror, has ia64 mirrors
thanks

On i386 the 2.6 kernel packages depend on module-init-tools. It seems
that this is not the case with eg, kernel-image-2.6.4-itanium.

The new version of partman-auto has support for architecture specific
things like this, so this could be fixed there as it was for powerpc,
iirc. You can work around this by doing manual partitioning and setting
up the fat16 partition by hand, I presume.
