Please bring this to the proper place, namely a installation report against debian-installer. BTW, i have just been expulsed, err, suspended for a year, so i will stay around here, but i have no more power to fix issues anymore than any of you, so i would appreciate if you took the issues directly to the right persons, or simply filled bug reports.
