Comments/Problems:
This server has two identical IDE disks.
I would like to install a Debian system on the one logical RAID 1 root partition.
The RAID utilities need a partition with type : Linux RAID Autodetect
But, partman doesn't set a partition with this type !!?
This type doesn't exist in the list of the possibles types.
I could not install a Debian system in RAID 1 on this machine.
Regards.

I asked around and I'm afraid I was correct. Neither RAID nor LVM are=20
supported with Sarge's installer for powerpc.
=46rom the libparted maintainer: "the ppc RAID/LVM partrition types thingy=
=20
are purely cosmetical, as they are ignored by the lvm/raid tools anyway".
The good news is that it should now work with the daily builds: "should=20
work out of the box with libparted currently in sid".
That is, with libparted 1.6.24-1.
As for sarge this is a known issue that will not be fixed and as it is=20
fixed in unstable, I'm closing the report.
Cheers,
=46JP
