I have not performed definitive experiments to verify either half of
this assertion, but the evidence so far does point in that
direction. When can I expect the "udeb for fuse" fix to be included
in an upcoming daily iso? I'll be happy to test it when it's
available.




I tried a test installation with the following:

Debian GNU/Linux testing "Wheezy" - Official Snapshot amd64 NETINST
Binary-1 20120923-03:20

which seems to have the necessary module:

$ find /mnt -name '*fuse*' -print
/mnt/pool/main/f/fuse
/mnt/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse-udeb_2.9.1-1_amd64.udeb
/mnt/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.9.0-2_amd64.deb
/mnt/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2-udeb_2.9.1-1_amd64.udeb
/mnt/pool/main/l/linux/fuse-modules-3.2.0-4-amd64-di_3.2.29-1_amd64.udeb


However, it still doesn't find the other OS partitions...

They are located in /dev/mapper/monk-root2 and /dev/mapper/monk-
root3. The partition being installed to is in /dev/mapper/monk-root.


I'm attaching the (gzipped) installer logs.

Please file a separate debian-installer bug report for problems related
to finding other OS's on LVM partitions.

Well... I tried it on a machine that was not using LVM, and got the
same results.


So the bug isn't fixed yet.

OK, here it is: Bug#690515

I hope it's an easy fix. It would be a shame to see it get into
beta3...
