This bug report is not about parted, but about the installer choosing an inappropriate default alignment for the partitions. > I can understand this machine is not available for reinstall, but > maybe is it still avaiulable for an install *test*, up to the point > where things are committed to the disk.

The problem is easy to reproduce: Create a virtual block device and run the installer in kvm: kvm-img create /export/storage/root.img 16G kvm -m 512 -cdrom /var/tmp/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso \ - -drive file=/export/storage/root.img -vnc :1 -usbdevice tablet Connect via vnc and try to install Debian on the disk with the root partition aligned to 2048s (using a msdos partition table, of course).
