I was next asked to enter resource ranges and entered again. The question about resource ranges was asked again 2 times during the next hw-config phases. This should be suppressed. Partman ======= I selected /dev/hda3 (vfat, W2K) with keep existing data and was offered /dos and /windows as mountpoints; selected /windows. I next selected /dev/hdb1 (vfat, W98) with keep existing data, and was again offered _both_ /dos and /windows. Partman should not offer mountpoints that have already been taken. After confirming all my selections, there was a very long blue screen without progress bars; I think that was while the vfat partitions were mounted. GRUB installer ============== I did two installs: - - first default priority with nl_NL and _no_ windows partitions selected for mountpoints - - second medium priority with en_US and _both_ windows partitions selected for mountpoints (as shown above) Regression (both installs): - - screen where summary of probed OS's are shown is not shown anymore - - question 'do you want to install GRUB on MBR' is not shown anymore (I think these were actually on one dialog that's gone missing.) After first install, there were entries for both my W2K and W98 partitions in /boot/grub/menu.lst. After second install, there were _no_ entries for both these partitions. Logs for second install are attached. - ------------------------------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAuwWWgm/Kwh6ICoQRAtndAJ4zHCXd7sUds33r74hSbknA/KfhIwCfdDRM yKag6vg6hqGw1BYx3/5mqEc= =8gUf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
