I tried it two times like described > above. Maybe some more infos to my system are needed. Tried again, I seem to reproduce it. I created a 300 mb fat32 partition with cfdisk (unformatted), continued the install, told partman to use that partition as a ext3 partition for root, checked partition table with cfdisk during base install and it was still type 0xc, then at grub install time it failed with "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly". Reassigning to partman, I suppose it doesn't think to change partition types if an existing partition is reused. -- see shy jo
