Bug#250820: Installer fails to create and install RAID volumes
Package: installation
Version: current as of 2004-05-24
Hi,
I am trying to use Sarge images from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/current/sarge-i386-businesscard.iso
and I have encountered a problem during installation on RAID1 volume. The partitions I used for the mirrorset
were already existing, but were formatted as EXT3 from previous installation attempts.
1)
When I selected the partitions to use for RAID1, the installer stopped during mdadm --create.
The reason is IMO that it waits for partition overwrite confirmation. Maybe mdadm should
be run with --run option ?
2)
Furtunately I could do mdadm by hand, so the installation could continue, but
it failed a while later when installing kernel-image package, since it wanted to run
mkinitrd and that depended on raidtools2, which was not installed
Regards,
Jarda Benkovsky
