Please provide them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] We have lots of reports for successful installs of dual boot systems so there is probably a tiny special thing in your partition scheme somewhere Assigning this to partman as I don't really know which partman-* package is responsible for writing the partition table 2) I also assign a wishlist bug to os-prober (the part responsible for detecting other operating systems) so that it can properly detect the special HP Recovery Partition and add a correct entry in the boot loader menus. Bdale, can you help on this or redirect us to someone who could (this is of course low priority...)
