Bug#516347: debian-installer: guided-with-lvm no longer allows multiple primary partition
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090123
Severity: normal
With etch's debian-installer we used the preseed lines below to
automatically setup our partitions. /boot and / as primary
partitions, all others as logical volumes.
d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition \
select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM

Now with d-i from lenny, it refuses to accept our receipe by
complaining: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
In /var/log/partman I can find:
parted_server: add_primary_partition(disk(67108864),2345490-67109161)
parted_server: OUT: Error
parted_server: OUT: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
parted_server: OUT:
parted_server: OUT: Cancel
parted_server: OUT:
/bin/autopartition-lvm: error_handler: exception with type Error
...
The exact same receipe on the same machine with the etch installer
works fine. So I'm not sure if this is now the indeed behavior of
guided-with-lvm (compared to etch) or just some regression.
