The partitioner failed to display any partition on my disk because there was a fat16 (type 6) partition (my Windows SWAP). Looking at the code, only FAT and FAT32 seem indeed to be recognised. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a FAT16 partition (FAT12 is likely to fail to) 2. Launch installer 3. Go to partitioning Actual Results: Disk contents not displayed; impossible to select partitions. Expected Results: Displayed disk partitions. I suppose not many people have FAT12 or FAT16 partitions on their hard drives anymore, but I do for the SWAP file of Windows XP. Also, USB keys might have a FAT16 partition to start with, so you really want to support at least this case.
Please give me the output of 'parted -s /dev/hdX print' where "hdX" is the drive that contains the fat16 filesystem.
Ignore the last comment. I've added code that *should* support FAT16 now. Please follow the directions in the FAQ <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/installer/faq.xml#newerversion> for updating the installer to the latest CVS and try again. Reopen this bug if you still have problems with fat16.
Moving to Release Media/Installer.
