Package: partman-base Hi,
I wanted to install kFreeBSD variant of Debian squeeze from http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/kfreebsd-i386/daily/monolithic/mini.iso downloaded today (2010-03-14). All went well until manual partitioning: - /dev/hda1 primary ntfs 26GB - free space 3GB When I select to partition the free space, select size (3GB) and type of the partition (primary), I get this error message: !!! Partition disks ??? ??? <Go Back> <Continue> Yes, it is correct, six questionmarks. Behind the dialog window I can see the text "Computing the new st" ...and the rest is obstructed by the dialog. When I continue (or go back), the partitioning menu is empty (like not showing any partitions at all): Guided partitioning Undo changes to partitions Finish partitioning and write changes to disc No clue on tty4 at this stage. However, when I go back to the main menu and select to partition disks again, nothing happens (I am immediately returned to the main menu), but syslog now reads: Mar 14 18:35:32 main-menu[117]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): /bin/partman: Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): line 105: Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): depmod: not found Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): /lib/partman/init.d/30parted: Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): line 131: Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): can't open /var/lib/partman/outfifo: no such file Mar 14 18:35:33 main-menu[117]: (process:1184): Looking at the attached partman log I would say it wants to use the ext2 filesystem by default for the new partition and switching to ufs does not work very well. -- Miroslav Kure
