Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-auto

Feisty i386 alternate cd from 28-Feb-2007 19:51, the computer is AMD64 3000+, abit AV8, with three harddrives (one sata, two pata). The partitioner gives choices "IDE%s slave, partition #%s (%s)", "0", "guided - resize...", "guided - use entire disk", which are quite mystifying.

This is mad (but somebody else filed the same problem so I know that neither you nor I are hallucinating). Could you repeat the most recent test with 'set -x' added to the second line of /lib/partman/auto.d/10initial_auto as well as /bin/partman, please? That appears to be the script that's actually failing.

(There is also a further problem with check.d scripts being run in an infinite loop. I understand that much of the problem, and will fix it, but it isn't the root of it.)

Thanks in advance!

    data flow to avoid hijacking stdin, which confuses debconf (LP: #89004).

  * Prevent an infinite loop if (for some reason) check.d fails immediately
