The next release is in 2 years, so time will tell. I thought parted as used in squeeze used 1MB partition allignement by default, just like Windows Vista and Windows 7 do.

Bug#537535: Offer for help, first patch
Hi guys,
I'd like to try and help with the switch to cdebconf as default, and
decided to start by having a look at this bug.
First, I took a stab at implementing debconf-get-selections, see patch
attached. It seems to work, but any feedback would be very welcome. I
added entries to cdebconf.conf-dist for the --installer option, which I
hope is the correct way.
I also had a look at Colin's patch, found a bug in debconf-escape, and
hope to send a working patch very soon. A pointer to test the escape
CAPB would be welcome as well, as I started work on it, based on the
Colin's patch.
Obviously any comment, feedback, or pointer to ways I could help would
be very welcome.
Regis

Bug#622839: Debian installer fails at step "install base system" with claim that no suitable kernels can be found
Package: debian-installer Version: Squeeze When installing from the small cd amd64 wheezy (the netinst is build on squeeze and the volume identifies as squeeze but I was installing wheezy) in expert non-graphical mode, the installation fails during install base system saying it's unable to find any suitable kernels, and asking if I want to continue. Monitoring the install in a terminal, I see that /target/etc/apt/sources.list, previously containing a placeholder invalid line, has been blanked just before this error message. There is an empty file in /tmp called something like valid kernel versions. I was using LVM on top LUKS if that matters at all, though it probably doesn't. I was able to work around the issue by switching to a virtual terminal, editing the sources file to include a Debian repository and manually installing busybox then the kernel. # Workaround # When you see hte error Ctrl + F2 then to activate the console echo "deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free" >> /target/etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install linux-image-2.6-amd64 # Ctrl + F1 and tell the box to continue installing without kernel. One possible cause of this is that the expert mode install does not configure system mirrors before installing base system. After I worked around the error, the next step was to choose supplementary mirrors to the netinst. I can try to reenact the process later if more detail is needed and record exactly all steps taken. It seems to be reproducible in that it happened twice, though the first time I had manually set up partitions because I wanted xts on my LUKS. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
