Package: debian-installer
Version: 5.0
Severity: important

When attempting to install on my Dell XPS M1330 partitioning correctly
detects my disk but only offers me the option of creating an entirely
new partition table (either manually or via guided install).  It does
not offer me the ability to use or modify my existing partitions.

The kernel and fdisk both recognise the partitions, fdisk reporting
the partition table as:

Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x28000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *       30075       30402     2620416    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2              16        1321    10485760    7  HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sda7           29331       30074     5976148+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

Partition table entries are not in disk order

We are closing this bug report against debian-installer 
for one of the following reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the bug report give the feeling that
  the reported problem was lying 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.
