Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Using the alternative installer (text mode) of Feisty 4 on a HP NX9420 laptop produces the following output on the Partition Disks screen.
Partitioning method:
SCSI%s (%s, %s, %s), partition #%s (%s)
0
Guided - resize cdrom-retriever and use freed space
Guided - use entire disk
If I use "Go Back" an error comes up to say "No root file system". If I then select Continue on that error message it goes into partitioning and displays...
SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) - 120.0 GB ATA ST9120821AS
#1 primary 26.6 GB B K ntfs /media/sda1
#5 logical 47.2 GB K ntfs /media/sda5
#6 logical 22.3 GB K ntfs /media/sda6
#3 primary 16.7 GB K ntfs /media/sda3
#4 primary 7.1GB K ntfs /media/sda4
Which is correct - although this is not the same screen as the one with the error.
Partitioning then proceeded fine.
I have rebooted and tried again and the same error happened again.
I can confirm this. I think this bug has something to do with Bug 79490.
