Package: debian-installer
Version: squeeze 20100211
Severity: important
* installing squeeze via netboot CD mini.iso (ISO file timestamp 2010.02.11),
expert mode
* after menu item 'detect disk' kernel detects disks and I see /dev/sda,
/dev/sda1 etc in shell
* after pressing 'partition disks' I only see device nodes for /dev/sda and no
partitions (/dev/sda1) (even though fdisk says partitions exist)
* after syncing partitions in fdisk by re-writing partition table, the device
nodes for this disk reappear
This would all be problem with simple workaround (rewriting partitions) but the
problem is that after installation and restart, the partitions are gone again
(so this might be problem in initrd / kernel?) and system can't boot
Disks: ST31000528AS
Controller: SATA, Intel 82801IR/IO/IH (ICH9R/DO/DH), AHCI

We are closing this bug report against debian-installer
for one of the following reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the bug report give the feeling that
the reported problem was lying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
