INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: 2004-12-06 http://mirrors.uwa.edu.au/linux/debian-amd64
uname -a: Linux martello 2.6.8-9-amd64-k8 #1 Sat Dec 4 23:16:23 CET 2004 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Date: 2004-12-12
Method: PXE boot from local tftp server and nearby Debian AMD64 mirror.
Machine has no floppy or CDROM device.

Machine: Custom built dual opteron file server
Processor: Dual Opteron 242
Memory: 2 GB 
Root Device: 36 GB Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM SATA
Root Size/partition table:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/system is an LVM vg of /dev/sda, the 36gig WD Raptor
/dev/reliable is an LVM vg of /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 which are degraded (one disk each) RAID 1 arrays over 2 Seagate Barracuda 200GB SATA 7200rpm drives. There are two more of these drives in the machine, but we are waiting on a PCI-X SATA controller for production use.

Comments/Problems:

Initially we tried setting up the entirity of /dev/sda (WD Raptor) with LVM, however neither lilo (which d-i tried) nor grub could boot from them on this architecture. Upon reinstalling with a separate /boot d-i installed grub which worked fine.

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.

This is an area where problems are known to occur. Your solution is indeed 
the preferred one. We expect work will be done on improving things after 
the release of Sarge.

Closing this report as there were no other issues. Thank you for 
submitting your report.

Cheers,
FJP
