Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Hello !
I installed recently a debian/testing on a friend's laptop - who had windows
on it. I repartitionned
using qtparted on KNOPPIX. I tried the normal install. I have to say that I'm
quite impressed, as
everything went pretty smooth - everything was detected properly, thanks for
the great job.
There only was one problem in the end - I would say the most critical place :
both GRUB and LILO
failed, with an error code 1 - not quite explicit. So I switched to the console
and tried to install
LILO manually, it complained about the partition table not being what LILO
would like it to be, and
advised to run with -P ignore. I did that, and it ran perfectly smooth
afterwards (no problem to boot
with Linux nor Windows).
Do you think that it would be a good idea to make it the default to run with
-P ignore if the first
run fails with this specific error ?
Cheers, and thanks again for the good work
Vincent Fourmond
