Bug#495792: cdrom: Disk partioner hangs at 52% when manual disk partion option selected
Package: cdrom
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I was trying to install a new lenny system over an existing old-stable system
The computer has two disk drives used for a Raid1 configuration
MD0 is a small boot partition
MD1 is a LVM with four partitions (/ /home /var /chroot)
I tried both lenny beta-2 disk and the weekly snapshot. (The beta-2 wouldn't boot on my machine so I
went to the snapshot disk)
When I selected the manual partition option, the partitioner would hang at 52% and not
present the partition map of the system. Pressing 'F4' showed a detail screen that
had both the raid and LVM partitions recognized.
The Stable install disk worked fine.
(The following is pulled from the machine I am reporting from and not from the machine which
reported the problem)
