Hi, 

I'm trying to use Advanced partitioning options to format the root partition 
and keep the home. In general this works well, however if I switch 
architecture (i386 to x86_64 or the other way round) I get an error "No linux 
root partitions found"

The last couple of lines in the error log look related

The section of profile (after running through the rules parser and pre

Uwe, do you want a bugzilla for this ?
