Package: debian-installer Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line ***
If one tries to use an old ntfs partition as an ext3 root partition, then d-i forgets to change the partition id from 7 (NTFS) to 83 (Linux). Then grub failed to install itself on the disk. I guess the above is the cause. Also, if grub is somehow booted, it will list the partition as unknown type and fail to load the kernel image or even to browse the directories. This happened with an official sarge snapshot from 20050225. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-k7-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Varno.
