[CC to debian-powerpc@l.d.o... Does it work for someone ?]

Dear installer team,

I have tested the latest daily install disk, Debian GNU/Linux testing "Lenny" - Official Snapshot powerpc BC Binary-1 20071104-10:21, and when it arrives to Partman, it does not manage to detect my partition table.

Here is the output of mac-fdisk:

/dev/sda

        #                    type name                  length   base      ( size )  system

/dev/sda1     Apple_partition_map Apple                     63 @ 1         ( 31.5k)  Partition map
/dev/sda2              Apple_Free                    893149168 @ 64        (425.9G)  Free space
/dev/sda3              Apple_Boot eXternal booter       262144 @ 893149232 (128.0M)  Unknown
/dev/sda4              Apple_HFSX Apple_HFSX_Untitled_1  83361776 @ 893411376 ( 39.7G)  Unknown
/dev/sda5              Apple_Free                           16 @ 976773152 (  8.0k)  Free space

Block size=512, Number of Blocks=976773168 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0

For the partman log, I attach it to the mail because it is a bit long. You can ignore the windows drive on sdb. It is not the one on which I will install Debian, it will be removed soon, and the problem I have with partman happened already before I connected it.

I hope that you can help me to install Debian on this computer. On my side, I can test updated versions of the installer on this one, and on an iMac G5 if necessary.

Do you need help?

Have a nice day,
