I apologise that your bug report was dealt with by somebody apparently
not very familiar with the installer. We do not in fact need any of the
information that Teej asked for in order to fix this bug: the partman
log would contain no useful information whatsoever, and the only thing
that syslog would tell me would be the contents of /proc/cmdline.
Fortunately, I can experiment with this for myself and make a good guess
at the problem.
This is actually supposed to be supported already, provided that you put
the boot options that are supposed to be preserved *after* the "--"
that's at the end of the command line on the live CD. This allows us to
distinguish boot options that are supposed to be passed only to the
installer from ones that are expected to be preserved, and generally
this scheme works well. Unfortunately, gfxboot-theme-ubuntu, which
implements our CD boot menu, doesn't add its preset options (acpi=off
etc.) to the end of the boot command line, but instead adds them to near
the start. Fixing this would fix this bug.
