When kernel modules loading for the IDE support, I have a message like:
via-irc, ide-scsi, ide-mod, ide-prob-mod, ide-detect, ide-floppy not
loaded because not present!
So, no IDE devices are detected and as consequently the partman program fails.
Other bug: when partman program fails by saying no devices to
partition are detected, and after continuing, the installer displays
a blue screen with no way for the user to interact with it.
