Package: debian-installer Severity: normal
the steps that create the problem while running the installer (yesterday's testing amd64) are: (I have a completely empty disk (free space)) select Manual partitioning create on the disk's free space, the first primary partition (for installing vista) create primary for /boot create primary and select 'use as encryption volume' write changes to disk select encrypted volume use as phycical volume for lvm configure Logical Volume Manager appears ->select it create volume group create logical volume -> for the root filesystem create logical volume -> for swap finish partitioning and write changes to disk-> I see the summary: "The partition tables of the following devices are changed: LVM VG vg1, LV rootFS LVM VG vg1, LV swap The following partitions are going to be formatted: LVM VG vg1, LV rootFS as ext3 LVM VG vg1, LV swap as swap " -> failed to create a file system The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of LVM VG vg1, LV rootFS failed As I can see from a console, /dev/mapper now contains: vg1-rootFS vg1-rootFSp1 vg1-swap vg1-swapp1 It looks like it tries to partition the logical volumes. Is this going to be a new feature? Why? Anyway, a more easy way to also create a problem is this: You just select from the menu: "guided - set up encrypted LVM" it did its things and I got the message: Too many primary partitions on selected disks and it returned me to the partitioning menu where I see just two partitions on physical disk: #1 primary 255MB ext2 /boot #2 prmary 319GB crypto (sda2_crypt) and Encrypted volume (sda2_crypt) - 147.0 MB Linux device-mapper #1 147 MB f ext3 <interests noone!> My workaround was: Downloaded the lenny first cd, installed without problems the encrypted lvm, and then upgraded to testing! </interests noone!> KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
