Comments/Problems:
I install this laptop for second time. First time i use the macosx disk utility to reserve space for debian partitions and
macosx virtual memory partition.The install process was good terminated, no error, no problem.
For the second i tryed to use partman to reserve space for macosx.The install process stop in mount partitions process.
It can't mount the last partition, number 7, in /home.I searched error message in shell but didn't find it.
I know fo the first time,the partition table was different, ths users partition was 3 and not 7(that's not the only
partition which the number was different).
I indicate to partman to not use the macosx partitions,so the 6 partition is empty (and was not in the first).Maybe
it's this empty partition that's disturb the install process.
I'm going to try to partition my disk with partman,stop the debian install process, install macosx,and return in the debian
install process.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
