The kernelparameter 'partman/alignment=cylinder' seems to fix this
behaviour.
When you add the 'partman/alignment=cylinder' kernel-parameter before
starting the Linux installation, the partitioner will not realign the
extended partition to MB-boundaries and eCS LVM-info will be preserved.
So, ins
Debian Squeeze now has this behaviour too.
What actually happens is that the lower bound of the extended container,
which is based on a cylinder boundary when created with eCOmStation's (OS/2)
LVM disktool,
is moved upwards to a MiB boundary by the Debian Squeeze / Ubuntu 10.04+
installation proc
