Comments/Problems:

I started the network installer through GRUB in the Amazon Elastic Comptuter
Cloud, and connected to it through a network console launched via preseeding.

I gave a couple of details on my website: http://charles.plessy.org/Debian/debiâneries/nuage/

While the detection of hard drives apparently went well (see attached
partman log), the partition step fails with the following error.


          ┌────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─────────────┐

Despite being in expert mode with ‘low’ Debconf priority, the above is
the only thing I get at the Partition disks step.  I need to press Escape
to return to the main menu, as otherwise it loops.

I tried to format the virtual drive on its first partition or without
partitionning, but it did not make a difference.

Do you have any idea ?

By the way, this is the first time I made such an advanced usage of the installer
and I must say that I am very impressed.

Have a nice day,

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
