Hi Andreas, Sorry for the delayed reply.
Would you also have the exact disk layout available *before* you did this installation run? That would help me reproduce the problem/verify that it's been solved already by some later patch (which is likely as parts of this size-computation code have been rewritten since).

We're new moving to 1MB, which should be better, but this is only part of experimental FAI packages right now. Best, Michael
