Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> (2014-08-08): > 3.2-2 fixes the non-LVM case, while it doesn't fix the second one, since > we're now getting a different issue, apparently about primary partition > count. I'll try to post more details soon. I've looked into it a bit more and discovered that the failing reason was autopartitioning_failed, which belongs to partman-auto-lvm's perform_recipe_by_lvm. I've therefore added some debug as can be seen in the attached patch. The syslog got augmented accordingly with the final line in this excerpt (which isn't much but better than before): | Aug 8 01:02:14 main-menu[213]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna-install: Installing partman-auto-lvm | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (cdebconf-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (di-utils): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (kernel-image-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (core-modules-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (fat-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (libdebian-installer4-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (archdetect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: resolver (hw-detect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:14 anna[4582]: DEBUG: retrieving lvm2-udeb 2.02.106-2 | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4582]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-lvm 90 | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4582]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-auto-lvm 53+nmu2 | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna-install: Installing partman-auto-crypto | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (cdebconf-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (di-utils): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (kernel-image-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (core-modules-3.14-2-486-di): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (fat-modules): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (libdebian-installer4-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (archdetect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: resolver (hw-detect): package doesn't exist (ignored) | Aug 8 01:02:15 anna[4682]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-auto-crypto 22 | Aug 8 01:02:16 anna[4682]: DEBUG: retrieving partman-crypto 73 | Aug 8 01:02:17 kernel: [ 111.532021] raid6: mmxx1 6180 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.600018] raid6: mmxx2 6640 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.668015] raid6: sse1x1 5192 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.736016] raid6: sse1x2 6531 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.804009] raid6: sse2x1 10550 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872013] raid6: sse2x2 13226 MB/s | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872014] raid6: using algorithm sse2x2 (13226 MB/s) | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872015] raid6: using intx1 recovery algorithm | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.872298] xor: measuring software checksum speed | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.912008] pIII_sse : 16192.000 MB/sec | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.952011] prefetch64-sse: 17323.000 MB/sec | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.952013] xor: using function: prefetch64-sse (17323.000 MB/sec) | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.954730] bio: create slab <bio-1> at 1 | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.954773] Btrfs loaded | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.963252] JFS: nTxBlock = 8068, nTxLock = 64548 | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 111.972423] SGI XFS with ACLs, security attributes, realtime, large block/inode numbers, no debug enabled | Aug 8 01:02:18 md-devices: mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 112.353097] device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3 | Aug 8 01:02:18 kernel: [ 112.353275] device-mapper: ioctl: 4.27.0-ioctl (2013-10-30) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com | Aug 8 01:02:18 partman: No matching physical volumes found | Aug 8 01:02:18 partman: Reading all physical volumes.

Mraw, KiBi.
