That is decidedly weird. The main thing to consider is that RAID/LVM support in the installer is relatively new. It will probably be improved after the next release. > So my question is: can my problem come from REISERFS ?? (open > question), KERNEL2.6 using LVM2 ? Any idea about debugging this? No idea. Debugging mainly means running relevant scripts with debugging turned on or actually debugging compiled programs until you stumble onto something that looks broken... Running a setup like 4- in qemu could maybe help. I think the best thing is to file an installation-report [1] with the info you've send so far so that we can keep track of this issue. Suggest you file this against debian-installer rather than installation-reports. However, our priority is on releasing ATM, not bugfixing.

Please file a separate wishlist bug for that against package mdcfg. Cheers, FJP
