Bug#254027: installation-reports TC1 on Acer TravelMate 800
clone 254027 -1
reassign -1 base-config
retitle -1 High-ASCII characters do not display properly after 2nd reboot with kernel 2.6
reassign 254027 prebaseconfig
retitle 254027 Seems to unmount ext2/ext3 uncleanly, forcing a fs check after reboot
thanks

This is #251550. Currently assigned to cdebconf, but according to
Eugeniy Meshcheryakov it should be assgined to whiptail.
Eugeniy, are you completely sure ? If so, we must assign this
important bug to whiptail

I'm currently trying to confirm that one. I suspect this is related to
be the console font problem in #253211 (huge bug log...)

ext3 is also checked (indeed a journal recovery happens)
The place file systems are unmounet is prebaseconfig, so assigning
this bug to it...
The unmount operation is "umount -a || true"
