Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-auto

With Hardy Alpha 6 Alternate Installer:

I don't believe this is a partman-auto-lvm issue since it has to deal with general rationing of partitions. I'd think that would be handled by a more generic function.

Root partition super tiny when selecting seperated /,/usr,/var,/tmp,/home. Hardly enough room to upgrade the kernel when needed. See size of /lib/modules/ with a single kernel installed.

partman-auto should definately take into concideration the size needed for linux modules and all restricted modules.

Bug from 2008. I rarely use ubuntu any more. Debian mostly. However if the
auto part formula hasnt changed then there is a problem still.
