Bug#289972: installation-reports: current HD partitioning not recognized by installer

[Kenward Vaughan <kay_jay@earthlink.net>]

Package: installation-reports
Severity: important



I tried to use the sarge netinst iso image from late December, 2004 
(112840704 bytes) on another machine here at home--Athlon 2500+/
Asus A7V600-X/Western Digital 7200 rpm 80 GB HD/ 
1 Windows XP NTFS and 1 FAT32 partition/
older Debian Sid install on several logical partitions.  Grub is used as
the boot manager.

At the point of partitioning the HD, the manual method was chosen.  The 
installer, however, failed to recognize any of the existing partitions, 
instead reporting the HD as a single entity with no partitions.  This occured 
with both some unused space at the end of the HD (original situation) and
when that space had been converted into a Linux partition using cfdisk from
the Debian system.

The system information below does not pertain to that machine.  Please 
let me know what other information is necessary!
