I haven't done a stable or a pressed install since August so I downloaded "debian-6.0.4-i386-netinst.iso" and created a basic install without a hitch. I used the following partitioning "commands": # Method d-i partman-auto/method string regular # Device(s) d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda # Mount style d-i partman/mount_style select uuid # Partition alignment d-i partman/alignment string optimal # Partition default filesystem d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext4 # Clear LVM configuration d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm_span boolean true # Clear MDRAID configuration d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true # Confirm LVM configuration d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true # Confirm MDRAID configuration d-i partman-md/confirm boolean true d-i partman-md/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true # Confirm regular configuration d-i partman/confirm boolean true d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true # Confirm partition table configuration d-i partman/choose_partition select finish d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true # Recipe d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
