The installation works fine, but does not preserve my partitions, /boot
goes to sda1. The log is on http://paste.debian.net/18763/.
There are in fact two problems here:
1. Your configuration does not specify the partitions to be preserved; you
should have
disk_config sda preserve_always:1,2 bootable:3
primary - 0 - -
primary - 0 - -
primary /boot 512 ext3 rw
logical - 22000- - -
Ok, my mistake, I have been mislead by a sentence on the FAI wiki, that
seems to mean that the "preserve" option is now given _only_ on the
disk_config line:
"The "preserveX" and "boot" options are one of the options now given on
the disk_config line..."
Now sda1 & sda2 are preserved, but setup-storage fails when building the
ext3 filesystem on /boot (debug log is on
http://paste.debian.net/19133/). This is weird, as running 'mkfs.ext3
/dev/sda3' works fine from the shell just after installation has stopped.
2. There was a bug in setup-storage (just reported as #501772), which your
report made visible (thanks!!): It should not have destroyed your partitions,
but instead have failed because your preserve_always specification and the
disk_config wouldn't have been feasible.
Given the corrected disk_config things should be fine even with the current
setup-storage version, but you might also want to try the experimental packages
from http://fai.alioth.debian.org, which include a fix for #501772.
How am I supposed to use this url? adding it to sources.list doesn't
work, as there is no Packages.gz file; shall I just use dpkg?
