Package: partman-base Running the lenny i386 installer on an HP DL165, I get this warning:
Unable to determine geometry of file/device /dev/cciss/c0d0. You should not use Parted unless you REALLY know what you're doing! Warning! 1. Ignore [*] 2. Cancel Prompt: '?' for help, default=1> As it happens I know that in my situation this warning is spurious and I want to fully automate the install, so after reading the installer syslog I added this to my preseed file: d-i partman/exception_handler select Ignore However, this merely changed the warning: Unable to determine geometry of file/device /dev/cciss/c0d0. You should not use Parted unless you REALLY know what you're doing! [Press enter to continue] This is of course useless for me because I'm trying an automated install. IMO the answer to this question should be preseedable somehow. Obviously some kind of pattern matching would be best, but in the meantime I don't mind if overriding this means I have to ignore _all_ partman exceptions - the knob should be there for me to do that if I want to. (For completeness: Colin Watson suggested I could use an early_command to remove db_fset partman/exception_handler seen false from /lib/partman/lib/base.sh.)
