Comments/Problems:
Partman displayed my hard disk correctly. I have chosen a manual
partitioning. Partman did NOT display my current partitions. Instead it
offered to create a new partition table.
I suspect partman is unable to create a logical partition in the free space
(in that particular situation).
However, I suggest handling the situation by an error message instead of
offering to create an new partition table.
An error message might say something like: strange partitioning found.
Cannot work on that.
Of course, I would like dearest that partman is able, to create logical
partitions in that situation.

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.
