Hi,

there is a message by Martin Michlmayr for bug #247819:

> Is there any way, to get the mdadm package to be installed together

> the kernel / along with the base-install?

As a workaround, you can edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst and and then add the line

waypoint 5  install_extra

just before

waypoint 1      pick_kernel


Could you please include this fix, so that root on RAID1 can work.

Thanks
Philipp Kolmann
