Greetings; I just started to do a wheezy 2.8 install on a disk with 4k sectors, this after researching and finding a partitioner utility that DOES know about 4k/sector disks. That is gdisk. which found the gparted setup and fixed it, all I had to do was write it to the disk., gparted, an old version is not capable of aligning things correctly.
So the disk is all partitioned and formatted but empty. Now I find I cannot bypass the disk partitioner in the installer, nor can I force it to use these partitions on the hilited drive This is using the installer in "expert" mode. It will not let me change the "do not use" when I hilite a partition and hit enter. It doesn't even acknowledge the mount points "/boot" and "/" already set. This is less than a desirable thing. How can I both bypass the broken partitioner, AND force it to use the partitions it finds on the hilited drive?
