Bug#502618: #502618: No change with scratching the disk before installing
Hi,
just wanna inform that now also our formerly working 32 bit machine
has that problem permanently, even after scratching the whole disk
with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda over night before. (We formerly
suspected the previous existence of an LVM on the disk caused that
behaviour.) The strange thing stays that this and other machines
installed fine before and that the bug occurred on some machines
earlier (Friday) and others later (Monday afternoon while it worked
Monday morning).
So now _all_ of our to-be-installed systems show this behaviour,
independently of hardware or installation architecture, independently
of the previous disk content.
Which is kind of bad, because to workaround this bug now means that we
have to go back to manual installation. :-(
We also looked through all changed udebs the last two weeks on our
mirror (ftp.ch.debian.org) and checked packages.q.d.o as well as their
changelog, but none of the changes pointed into this direction.
Probably the only relevant package which changed at all during the
last weeks is partman-base (changed in Lenny as well as in Sid).
HTH.
Kind regards, Axel Beckert
