Thanks for the check-back... Yeah, I noticed that Bug#684265 and Bug#686927 got fixed.But then I noticed that this only fixed half the problem. If the other OS partitions are on LVM, they still are not being discovered by the installer.
I submitted Bug#690515 for this, but nobody seems to have had the time to look at it yet.
I haven't tried this with Beta-4 yet, but I can personally verify that Bug#690515 was definitely present in Beta-3.
Given that Bug#684265 and Bug#6869267 were fixed by including the kernel fuse modules in the d-i, I'm hoping that there is another missing set of kernel modules that we need to have available in order to get access into LVM partitions -- once they are properly included, the problem will go away. But it's all seriously dark-grey magic to me and I'm really just guessing.
Enjoy! Rick
