not exactly nothing, but better still a clue ;-) ~ # /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions --flag prep Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 512 bytes, but Linux says it is 2048 bytes. A bug has been detected in GNU Parted. Refer to the web site of parted http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html for more information of what could be useful for bug submitting! Please email a bug report to bug-par...@gnu.org containing at least the version (2.3) and the following message: Assertion (disk != NULL) at ../../libparted/disk.c:1548 in function ped_disk_next_partition() failed. Aborted ~ # echo $? 134 For testing purposes i copied over the find-partitions and its libs from the squeeze install to my already running lenny on PPC. There it seems to work: /tmp# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/ /tmp/find-partitions --flag prep /dev/sda1 7.8 MiB /dev/sdb1 7.8 MiB /dev/mapper/mpath0p1 7.8 MiB /tmp# echo $? 0 (Mind though that all the devices are referring to the same disk, since it's mapped through dual VIOS.) Any idea what went wrong with the squeeze LPAR? Is this maybe an issue with the ibmvscsic kernel module?
