Comments/Problems:
Recently I installed sarge on a few machines (~5), and I used a software
raid as a root device. Installation progress was successfull until
bootloader has to be installed.
When I tried a "next step -- install bootloader", I got a choice: where
MBR should be placed. Menu consisted of three options: "/dev/md0: root
device", "/dev/md0: new debian partition" and "other: for experts".
I tried /dev/md0 (both of. They are the same, I suspect). I got a
pop-up, saying that /dev/md0 isn't active. (During partitioning. I
marked both partitions /dev/md0 consist of as "bootable"). Popup asked,
if I want to make /dev/md0 active. When I selected "yes", I got the
error message saying "An error occured during installing boot
loader", and I returned to previous menu. When I selected "no", I got a
message saying "error: lilo returns -1 as exit code", and again, I was
returned to previous menu.
So only way to install was select "do not make /dev/md0 active", get an
error (during this step, file /etc/lilo.conf on /target was created),
log in on second console, chroot to /target, manually edit
/etc/lilo.conf, appending 'raid-extra-boot=mbr-only', manually run lilo,
return to first console and select "continue without bootloader". After
this, everything is went OK. Reboot, base config and so on...
This bug/strange behavior is 100% reproduceable, I get it five times
during five installs.
