Subject: installation-reports: bad interface name "IDE1 (hda)" in manual partitioning Package: installation-reports Version: sarge_d-i/i386/rc2 Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line *** In the summary dialog for manual partitioning of the harddrive during install ["this is what will be done; last chance to avoid destructive change to the disk"], the lower left corner identifies the disk as "IDE1 (hda)". This is incorrect and makes the user wonder whether the installer will modify the correct disk!
The name of the first IDE interface (the one for hda and hdb) is "ide0". I'm willing to overlook capitalization, but the digit '0' is important. "ide1" is for hdc and hdd. If I had a harddrive on hdc or hdd, then I would have abandoned installation for fear of scribbling on the wrong disk. But I have only one harddrive, hda. So I continued, and the correct actions were performed. But I was worried.
The installer was downloaded on 2004-12-16 from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
