I hope you are prototyping with a USB-stick, floppy or the preseedfile from
a HTTP server. ( to avoid (re)burning of CD-ROMs )

AFAIK is the english text needed.

I don't known if that conflicts the previous setting, I suggest to
comment it out.

Looks fine to me, but as it doesn't work, I would try:
1024 5000 1024 ext3 \
method{ keep } \
. \
1 6000 1000000000 ext3 \
method{ keep } \
.
