I don't want to offend you, but all that you wrote I already found from google and friends. What I did not find is some info about partman logging. Searching debian MLs for partman has millions of hits, so its the same like no hits - can't read all that. As partman is internal to d-i, where can I find some info about the numbers shown around partition informations? You wrote, that disc addressing could be converted, if size is smaller than 8 Gig - none of my partitions fits this condition, so how can I calculate a sector from informations of partman log? kind regards Gero -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
