Comments/Problems:
First I tried with the following partition scheme:
128M /boot, First primary partition, Ext3, Boot-flag on
20G LVM Physical Volume, Second primary partition, Boot-flag off
20G VG
6G /, LV on VG, XFS
256M swap, LV on VG
Everything looked fine. On reboot, I got GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB printed
on the screen (for ever AFAIKT).
Then I tried with this setup:
20G /, First primary partition, Ext3, boot-flag on
384M swap, Second primary partition
NB: This is the partitioning scheme the installer sets up when telling
it to do it automatically.
This resulted in a working Debian system :) However, It's near
impossible to convert it to LVM and XFS (I'd need an other HD, etc).
It'd be nice if I the partitioner worked.
I also tried this:
256M swap, First primary partition
6GB /, Second primary partition, boot-flag on
This also results in the GRUB GRUB GrUB GRUB syndrome :(
Anyone able to install with any partition setup other than what the
installer sets up automatically?
