Comments/Problems:

Partitioning the harddisk (standard 15GB PATA disk) fails with
the message "Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition".
This happens

a) when using "guided partitioning" and 
b) when partitioning manually and trying to create more than one
   partition

Creating the first partition works without problems, but as soon
as one tries to add another partition, the aforementioned error
occurs. When one creates just a root partition (no swap etc.), the
rest of the installation process works normally.

Attached is a partman log from an installation attempt with
manual partitioning. Creating only the root partition worked,
trying to add an additional swap partition failed as described
above.

Regards,
Karsten
