My setup is Lenovo R61 notebook with single SATA HDD. I have old
installation of the Pangolin beta 1 system.

I tried to over-install beta 2 on my screwed btrfs-partition (upgrade
failed previously and broke libc6*). But independently from the notice the
old configuration of the system seem to be not deleted from the partition
before installation. It was chosen custom partitioning, then to existing
partitions I added tags to /boot (/dev/sda3), / (dev/sda2), I do nothing to
swap (/dev/sda1).

That was on original system before it fails.

And yes - these are my volumes on btrfs partition created during
installation of beta 1. I later add /boot ext2 parition (resizing) to avoid
problems with grub2.

For me this is strange that the installer cannot fix the existing broken
installation or just cleanly overinstall without touching /home.

* - I finally succeed with removing it from that partition but failed on
restoring it.
