Comments/Problems:

There was a wrong kernel installed (K7) and grub could not read the root partition.
Root partition was formated as ext3. I have booted the system with a rescue disk and 
all seems
to be fine :( Tried a new install.

While partioning i've deleted all partitions of the hdd and choose to create the 
partitions automatic
Created ext2 file system on it. Install base system failed with the following error:

Dependencies errors prevent configuration of exim4-base 
=====

I have booted the system with a rescue disk (Trinity Rescue Kit) and have runned fdisk 
from the cd-rom.
I've manualy deleted all the partitions on /dev/hda. Then i've a new installation, and 
all seems to be working 
now. This gives me the idea that parted didn't do the job as it was supose to be.
