Comments/Problems:
<Great to see that the RAID array and the network controller are recognised, I tried 2 months ago and they did'nt. This solves a big
problem for me. So all went well until GRUB.
I just had some hesitation during the partitioning concerning the swap,
I expected to find it among the file types, after having redone the
partioning I understood how it works, perhaps I am dumb.
GRUB refused to install,
(... does not have any corresponding bios drive)
I thought the name of the partition is'nt good and I tried others but none worked. I tried also to modify /boot/grub/device.map or delete it
but nothing worked.
I tried then lilo but not much happened (the last message was
"setting up lilo...."
Then I replay the install from beginning. After GRUB failure, I open
a shell to investigate, I use nano to edit device.map, and then
I try lilo another time, but it refuse to install, complaining that
the lilo package is'nt on the CD (apparently, it has forgotten we are
in a network install).
Then I reinstall from beginning, use directly lilo, and it works!!!>
