Comments/Problems:
(1) The bizcard ISO has no entry in
<http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/20051229/i386/iso-cd/MD5SUMS>.
(2) Disks have LVM LVs on RAID from a previous attempt. In "Partition disks",
chose "Manually edit partition table". SCSI2 & -4 had RAID partitions from
previous attempt. Chose "Configure software RAID", "Create MD device",
"RAID1". Got "No RAID partitions available" message. Finished MD
configuration, finding my previously-configured RAID1 device with LVM
partition on it.
Chose "Configure the Logical Volume Manager". Got "The partition tables of the
following devices are changed: RAID1 device #0", chose "Yes" to write the
changes. This disturbing message appears:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[!] Partition disks
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition
/dev/md/0p1 -- Invalid argument. This means Linux won't know about
any changes you made to /dev/md/0p1 until you reboot -- so you
shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
ERROR!!!
Ignore
Cancel
<Go Back>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chose the default, "Ignore".
My six, previously-configured "volume groups" are found. I activate them. (I
thought these were LVs, not VGs. I have only one VG.) I leave the LVM
configuration menu, and my six LVs appear. I choose to reformat my
previously-created ext3 partitions and write the changes to disk.
Got "The partition tables of the following devices are changed: RAID1 device
#0" again, along with a message about the partitions about to be formatted.
Chose "Yes" to write the changes. Got the above error screen again.
(3) It goes on to format my ext3 partitions and install the base system.
Continuing from the "Debian software selection" screen always fails. Log
messages include:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!
[...]
Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No":
Abort.
tasksel: aptitude failed
[...]
WARNING **: Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps there's an Apt setting that can override this check for now? I'm using
ftp.debian.org.
(4) Also, this message often appears in the logs, though I never requested grub:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grub-installer: /boot is a lvm volume [...], cannot install grub.
