Preseeding help needed (d-i partman-auto)

[foobarry]

Debian 10.

I am getting an error message as follows:

Code: Select all

Failed to partition the selected disk
This probably happened because there are too many (primary) partitions in the partition

This is on a clean disk with nothing on it.

Could somebody help me decipher it ? The partitioning component of my preseed file reads as follows:

Code: Select all

Try specifying a GUID partition table: https://gist.github.com/robertstarmer/7 ... reseed-L14

Thanks @Head_on_a_Stick, actually the answer was simpler. I had the same lv_name defined twice (2 x lv_name{ root } ).
