FAI failure...

[Jens Ruehmkorf]

Hi Ian,

that bug has been fixed by the upstream maintainer of setup_harddisks.
For now, simply change line 222 in setup_harddisks where it says

$result = `sh -c "LC_ALL=C sfdisk -l -q"`;

to

$result = `sh -c "LC_ALL=C sfdisk -g -q"`;

(Thanks to Lech Nieroda for that hint!)

see above.

Hope this helps,
Jens
