Comments/Problems:
I have installed 64-bit squeeze to partition 3 ,one under normal BIOS, and another under UEFI BIOS.  First 2 partitions are reserved for 64-bit Windows 7, although I'm against co-existence in the same drive.

Since I have transition period of 4KB sector in mind, I have originally partitioned the drive using 2048 (512 bytes/sector) sector boundary (I should rather say 512 bytes lba, but the convention is sector...)
	    Start			End
	1   2048	(=0800h)	206847
	2   206848	(=32800h)	268437503
	3   268437504	(=10000800h)	335546367	debian64
	4   335546368	(=14000800h)	3907026943	extended
	5   335548416	(=1400100h)	369102847	swap
But as you can notice, the extended partition start is modified from the original 335546368 to 335548414 whichi is apparently not 2048 boundary at all.  This modification happened immediately after the installation step of "Write changes to disk?" affirmative answer.(I can see it at Alt/F2 console).

Also another problem is grub2.  If I did not create 1st & 2nd partition, grub2 is not installed to the beginning of 3rd partition even I requested non MBR install, and install to /dev/sda3 reagardless of normal or UEFI BIOS.  I cannot tel where it is installed instead.  I'm aware of warning of blocklist install.  But it is a philosophical issue, I believe.

Thank you in advance to all the people working for debian installer.  You guys have done a good job.  We really appreciate your effort.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the ("partman" related) bugs mentioned here and am closing 
them now as
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they were (very) old.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply or just file a new one - 
thats often better, as the bug log will be more clear.


cheers,
        Holger
