Hi! Acording to /var/log/partman you started the installation with clear disk - without partition table (this is strange for a notebook).
Then you created the necessary partitions. Then partman tried to write the partition table. However the kernel says: "The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc (Input/output error). This means Linux won't know anything nothing about the modifications you made until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc." Consequently the kernel can not find and use the new partitions. I have heard about notebooks having some special, internaly used partition on the disk that may not be removed. I don't know if this so in your case.

Yes, it looks to me similar. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
