If downloaded the new boot.img and the updates.img to get the installation working with my NTFS-partition, and it seems like the todo.py has an error in it, it halted with an error. On line 1411 it says ... % (command,)) where it should be % (command)) - I fixed that. But it still won't find my Linux-partition on /dev/hdc5. Here's my layout: Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 1023 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 114 229792+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda4 115 1022 1830528 5 Extended /dev/hda5 115 115 1984+ 1 DOS 12-bit FAT /dev/hda6 * 116 573 923296+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda7 * 999 1022 48352+ 82 Linux swap Disk /dev/hdb: 128 heads, 63 sectors, 779 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 2 778 3132864 5 Extended /dev/hdb5 ? 2 262 1052320+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hdb6 ? 263 522 1048288+ 7 OS/2 HPFS /dev/hdb7 523 778 1032160+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1229 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 1 1229 9871911 f Win95 Extended (LBA) /dev/hdc5 * 1 261 2096419+ 83 Linux native /dev/hdc6 262 522 2096451 83 Linux native /dev/hdc7 969 1229 2096451 83 Linux native ...

The problem that you are seeing is related to the Win95 extended partition that you have on /dev/hdc1. The updates disk is still not able to deal with these extended type "f" partitions and therefore the installer is not able to see your linux partitions. We will be releasing another update which fixes this problem as well, but in the mean time, the easiest workaround is to change the partition type of /dev/hdc1 from type "f" to type "5" for the duration of the linux installation/upgrade. After you get your linux installation upgraded, you can change the partition type back to type "f" and things will work just fine. Please refer to bug #5511 for more information about this problem and resolution. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 5511 ***
