The problem was recreated with images downloaded on June 16th (md5sum ...4205) and June 18th (md5sum ...8b10). A similar problem was seen by at least one other user: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=104983&sid=f7d74eebcaa96705744b6f60318b88cb Steps to recreate: Select "Manual" partitioning method and set up initial partitions: sda1 - 104.9M ntfs (existing Windows 7 installation) sda2 - 39.9G ntfs (existing Windows 7 installation) sda3 - 1.0G ext4 /boot (Bootable) sda4 - 87.0G PV for encryption (Passphrase / Do not erase) Successfully create encrypted volume 'sda4_crypt'. Successfully create an LVM volume group 'linux' on PV 'sda4_crypt' with three LVs. Then successfully assign roles to those three LVs: root - 30G - ext4 / (mount options relatime) home - 20G - ext4 /home (mount options relatime) swap - 10G - swap Select "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk", which leads to the following warning dialog: If you continue, the changes listed below will be written to the disks. Otherwise, you will be able to make further changes manually. The partition tables of the following devices are changed: LVM VG linux, LV home LVM VG linux, LV root LVM VG linux, LV swap The following partitions are going to be formatted: LVM VG linux, LV home as ext4 LVM VG linux, LV root as ext4 LVM VG linux, LV swap as swap Write the changes to disks? Select 'Yes'. A "Partitions Formatting" progress bar appears for a moment, then I'm thrown back into "Partition disks" Select "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk" again, and this time I get a modified version of the earlier dialog: If you continue, the changes listed below will be written to the disks. Otherwise, you will be able to make further changes manually. The partition tables of the following devices are changed: LVM VG linux, LV swap Write the changes to disks? Select 'Yes', and I'm taken back to the "Partition disks" dialog with no intervening steps. >From this point any further attempts to "Finish partitioning and write..." kick me immediately back into "Partition disks", as does any attempt to back out of partitioning and skip to "Install the base system".
