Package: installation-reports


I try to install Debian on a RAID 0, using the "install dmraid=true" command.


Boot method: iso DVD
Image version: Lenny for amd64, downloaded in April 2008
Date: 26/06/08

Machine: MoBo Asus M2N sli Deluxe, 2 Maxtor HDD
Processor:AMD athlon x2  3.2Ghz
Memory:2 Gb RAM, 2x160 Gb on HDD
Partitions: separated /usr, /var, /tmp and /home

Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): No terminal available

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot:           [o]
Detect network card:    [o]
Configure network:      [o]
Detect CD:              [o]
Load installer modules: [o]
Detect hard drives:     [o] (RAID 0 successfully detected)
Partition hard drives:  [E]
	-> Every partition seem to be created correctly, but finaly the SWAP fails.
After that, the partition manager shows a pri/log ext3 partition.
I tried to delete this to retry the process.
It fails because of "too much boot sectors" (as I try to remember).

I made a disk wipping (using Hard Disk Manager 5.5), so I could try again the partitionning process, that fails again at the SWAP.



Install base system:    [ ]
Clock/timezone setup:   [o]
User/password setup:    [ ]
Install tasks:          [ ]
Install boot loader:    [ ]

Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
     and ideas you had during the initial install.>

Recently the support for dmraid in partman has been improved significantly 
and some issues with grub installations have been fixed.
I expect this will have also fixed the problem you had.

Please see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataRaid for current 
status and instructions for installing Debian on a Serial ATA RAID 
device.

Cheers,
FJP
