Hello,
when using "preserve_reinstall" a machine cannot be installed [with
initial-flag] if there isn't a partition layout on the disk (i.e. the disk is
empty).
The attached patch tries to work around this behaviour.
It would be kind of you to include this patch (or something similar).
Best regards,
Manuel Hachtkemper
