Hi again, I tried to modify the partition table by hand using fdisk, and after writing it I see the following error message. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) Syncing disks. So the scenario is: - Partman partitions the disk, - the kernel is not informed of the changes, - udev does not create new links in /dev, - formatting and installation are impossible. Do you think that this bug should be re-assigned somewhere else ? Have a nice day, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
