  Yes, exactly. Actually i agree, there's little to blame in Installer.
Only  one  small  thing  -  nobody  told me that my layout (previously
worked) became incorrect. Perhaps Installer should warn about it ?
  Or, we can consider one more corner case. What if i install the whole
OS to a single EXT2 partition ? Yes, again, i agree, you may ask "Why,
EXT2  is  outdated  and  there's cool new EXT4". I have already said -
this is corner case.

Maybe the installer could warn about a likely broken partition
layout after you choose manual layout.  It doesn't seem right
that if you want to customise layout at all you must remember
any machine-specific constraints.

Also, this constraint is not documented in the installation manual.



Reassigning to installation-guide-powerpc and partman-ext3.
