Hi,

I forgot to send it to to bugs.debian.org too. So I am sending it again.

I first tried to install the boot loaders with the debian-installer. But that 
failed. Grub had an error (if i remember correctly) that it couldn't be 
installed to /target/ and lilo said it couldn't be installed. Choosing a 
manually lilo target in lilo had as default /dev/md/0.

Manually (as I described) it worked perfect.

Maybe it has to do with the Onboard Raid Controller, i am not sure if lspci 
shows it. It is a Cont. Raid Promise PDC20319 4-Channel SATA RAID 0,1. But I 
disabled it in the Bios (The raid functionality), so the two SATA harddisks 
are IDE third and fourth master. I think the RAID Controller is for sure not 
a "real" hardware raid controller. But as the software raid seems to do the 
job very well I didn't try any further.

If you have any further questions feel free to contacting me.
