When creating a mac partition table (on a 64bit powerpc XServe G5 machine),
with todays d-i daily build, parted 1.7.1 is not able to show the resulting
partition table. It recognizes the partition table as a mac partition
table,
but shows no partitions.
The partitions show up just right inside partman though, which uses
libparted.
Can you try with parted-1.8.0rc2 and see if the problem persists? We've
I am unable to build the 1.8 svn version, due to some autoconf/automake
issues.
Trunk in parted svn may not always work. I mean, it should for the most
part, but don't assume that.
Try parted-1.8.0rc2.tar.bz2 from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parted
introduced a lot of fixes for Mac disklabels in what will be the 1.8.0
release:

Well, the problem seems to be linked in the d-i environment, since in the
installed system things work just fine. I am really baffled by this, first

done maybe ? Not sure though, the partition table is recognized as a mac one.
I don't know what the d-i environment is, but as far as parted goes,
please try 1.8.0rc2.
