Package: debian-installer Version: Testing from 7-Apr-2010 Severity: normal
I just tried to install Testing on an old laptop that had previously used LVM. I decided to delete the old LVM partition and use /dev/hda1 for the install. Previously /dev/hda1 had been a 50M /boot partition. The installer thought it had done the right thing but ran out of space after installing 50M of files. The kernel hadn't taken note of the new partition layout, presumably due to the presence of an active LVM configuration. On a second attempt at installing (after rebooting) there was no need to change partitions (LVM was already gone) and everything worked. I think that the installer should detect this case (and other situations where the kernel declines to accept the new partition table) and inform the user that they need to reboot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
