Ok - the drive is actually detected in d-i-2. I can do manual partitioning in the console with fdisk /dev/sda1. However, the installer fails at the step "[!] Detect disks", and asks me to choose a driver for the disk chipset. If I continue by ignoring the drive, and try to partition, the installer log on Alt-F4 says libparted1.7-udeb does not exist. This seems to be from a dependency from partman-base. According to http://packages.debian.org/lenny/partman-base it depends on libparted1.7-udeb, and notes that the package is missing from lenny. Either partman-base should be updated to use libparted1.8-udeb, or libparted1.7-udeb should be put back in lenny (it exists in both etch and sid, so why was it removed from lenny? sid has both versions). I'll reassign this bug to partman-base, as this seems to be (atleast part of) the problem. Thanks, Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
