Bug#352914: yaboot-installer tries to search for apple partitions on ibm rs6k/pseries hardware
Hi, ...
We are trying to tackle these issues, and Colin will upload a new version of
partman-prep today, which will be present in tomorrow's daily builds. It would
be helpful if you could give those a try, and comment back on this bug report
(just do a group-reply to this mail).
Friendly,
Sven Luther
