Bug#243024: Unable to install servers using the DAC960 driver

[Alessandro Polverini <alex@blue-byte.it>]

Package: installation-reports
Severity: critical

Debian-installer-version: sarge-i386-netinst of 7 April
Method: Boot from CD
Machine: Athlon64 with Mylex Acceleraid 170 RAID Controller

Problem:
The installer is unable to create partitions.
If I do partitions with other tools (or Woody), the installer lists them
but is unable to select them and set properties (as type of file system,
mount point, etc).

In other words, D-I is unable to do anything on server with DAC960 driver.

I think that the problem could be that the partition scheme used by
the driver is unusual. Here are some examples:
/dev/rd/c0d0 : first logical disk
/dev/rd/c0d0p1 for first partition of first disk
/dev/rd/c0d1p2 for second partition of second disk

And so on.

Thanks,
Alex
