** Summary changed:
- Separate /boot/ partition fails
+ Kernel *loses* partitions at partitioning stage; installer fails
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
- The description of this bug report might also read "Ubiquity causes
- kernel to *lose* the /dev/sda5 partition". The installer fails because
- one of the partitions it is trying to prepare *disappears* as a result
- of one of the many scan/file-system detection operations that
- ubiquity/partman perform. I've been unable to pin-point the culprit so
- far. Checking /proc/partitions shows that sda5 has gone missing.
