I expected much longer log file. On your machine partman has fallen
from the beginning in some infinite loop. This happens before any use
of libparted.

partman depends on partman-target and partman-target depends on
partman-basicfilesystems. All

That does fix it, and I'm uploading fixed packages now.

You're right, the descriptions would need to be kept short.

It depends. I don't expect it to be more than 30 sec in the worst
case. If the delay you observed is longer then maybe you discovered
some bug? If this happens again, please send me the output of the

I build a hd-media initrd that directly included partman, partman-ext3,
partman-auto, partman-partitioning, partman-target,
partman-basicmethods, e2fsprogs-u

How you did this? So far all tests of partman-ext3 and partman-auto I
have done were using "make TYPE= demo".
With "make TYPE= demo" I am unable to repro

Now that I've straightened out my initrd, I've managed to create this
partman patch. This modifies the main screen with a simpler, cleaner look
as I described earlier, including removing the menu items for commit and
abort. I've also made some similar changes to the active_partition screen.
