Bug#325319: debian-installer: typo in screen option (possibly from parted)
Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor
Hi,
I got this error message recently when using the Debian installer (sarge
release).
************************************************************************
Partition Disk
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/mapper/vg-lv1
(invalid argument), This means Linux won't know anything nothing about the
modifications you made until you reboot. YOu should reboot your computer
before doing anything with /dev/mapper/vg-lv1.
************************************************************************
I googled for the error message, and it looks like this message may be
coming from parted, but I'm not sure. Since I saw the message in the
installer, I'm filing the bug here.
This error dates back to at least 2003 based on googling, and I can't see
any record of it having been fixed.
Anyway, the point is that "Linux won't know anything nothing" is not correct
English, so it should be changed.
Faheem.
