Do you know if this error is a regression regarding the lenny installer or the current official beta2 installer? If so we have to investigate this and fix the bug before the packages enter testing. But I suspect this nerver worked. See also Debian bugs #332227, #352914 and #350372. I guess this really needs someone with the right hardware to dig in and solve the bugs or write the missing code for the installer. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again.
