Because it can not reread the partition table if it uses some of the partitions for something - swap (partman automaticaly activates any existing swap to allow small memory installs), LVM or RAID phisical volume or mounted partition (used as installation medium). Consider this: 1. The user creates the necessary partitions and goes to configure LVM 2. Partman writes the partition table to the disks and invokes the LVM configurator 3. The configurator creates logical volumes. At that stage the kernel is no more able to reread the partition table 4. The user specifies file systems and mount points for the logical volumes but decides / to be in a regular partition rather than in a logical volume 5. Partman sets_system_type for the partition for / 6. When the user finishes partman writes the partition tables to the disks. The kernel complains.
