I was using the installer with kernel 2.6.7-1-386 (that is what uname -a
says in the installer shell - for additional info see also my initial
installation report entitled "Bug#269036: Sarge: debian-installer
partitioning failure").
The initial partition table was probably generated by some version of
parted, namely the one used by the SUSE Linux professional 9.0 installer
(but I'm not sure, I didn't install SUSE myself). I modified it with
YAST2 first (I think that YAST2 uses parted, but again I'm not sure),
but that failed probably since I tried it from the running system. I
then used a Knoppix 3.4 CD with kernel 2.4.23-xfs and fixed the
partition with fdisk 2.12.
Best regards,
Matthias
