The problem occurs when letting the partitioner use the whole disk

install testing (this weekend) I gave up out of frustration and used
the stable install disc since its advanced options let me choose from
stable, testing, or unstable. The drawback, however, is that ext4
isn't included.

Gary,
My testing indicates that yaboot does not support ext4. The work
around is to have a separate partition formatted with the ext2
filesystem for your /boot directory (distinct from the hfs "NewWorld
bootblock" partition -- see previous discussion in this thread).
I've tried that, but had inconclusive results. It was a while ago and
I don't remember the details. Maybe if you decide to try it you could
make a detailed report on how it works... or doesn't?
Of course, another work around would be to use grub2. I intend to try
that sometime soon and I'll make a full report when I'm finished.
Enjoy!
Rick
PS: I'll also see if I can confirm your problem with whole-disk guided
partitioning, and report on that too. Have you considered filing a
bug report?
