Script crashes with manual partitioning (both separate /home and non separate)
On a VM Im trying to do manual partitioning on the device vda: fat32 for boot, btrfs for the main subvolumes, btrfs for another partition with only the @home subvolume
It gave me this error when trying to format the first partition:
Formatting filesystem: /usr/bin/mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/vda1
Unable to determine new partition number: /dev/vda1
Im using the latest version downloaded from the github repository like this: (I can't use the latest version from pacman because of the error mentioned here https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/2436)
pacman-key --innit
pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/
cd archinstall
python -m archinstall

Archinstall experienced the above error. If you think this is a bug, please report it to
https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall and include the log file "/var/log/archinstall/install.log".
Hint: To extract the log from a live ISO
curl -F'file=@/var/log/archinstall/install.log' https://0x0.st
This error might be for manual partitioning in general Now I tried to do the btrfs manual partitions, without putting the /home in a separate partition, and the script still crashes
Same issue: Unable to determine new partition number: /dev/vda1
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but even then, I think the script should prompt me to correct it instead of crashing.

Archinstall experienced the above error. If you think this is a bug, please report it to
https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall and include the log file "/var/log/archinstall/install.log".
Hint: To extract the log from a live ISO
curl -F'file=@/var/log/archinstall/install.log' https://0x0.st
I think you could consider putting a warning, like beta, or work in progress, to the manual partitioning option. The script crashes 90% of the times I try that. And its a lot of work setting the starting and end byte point of each partition without graphical aid.
In a couple cases also the vda drive got wiped/broken/hidden from the virtual machine. That makes it scary to try on bare metal for somebody with pre-existing partitions.
i also couldnt install using manual partitioning. tried it several times with different options and it crashes when i choose grub for bootloader. when i choose other bootloaders, archinstall doesnt crash but system doesnt boot after reboot. now i see your post, i am also concerned that it may be a bug in archinstall script.
Are you using the latest version? Could you please try to use the latest master as this could be resolved already
I can reproduce this on the latest master.
From git bisecting, b39e3dc appears to be the first bad commit.

Starting a partition at sector 0, the EFI system partition in this case, will overwrite the primary GUID Partition Table. Take care not to overwrite the primary GPT or secondary GPT.

QEMU should be configured for UEFI mode in order to utilize an EFI system partition.

@xfnw, that commit is unrelated to the issue in the initial report.
There's a plan for an overhaul of the partitioning menu which should implement better checks for all these things
