Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
This is an older Dell Dimension desktop with Bios version A05 and a
PIII-450. I am using the Sarge RC2 net-installer.
Using the expert26 install, attempting to use LVM on top of raid-1.
Install raid-1 across two IDE hard drives, raid device md0, configured
as two physical raid partitions of 6GB each (hda1 and hdb1).
info: /bin/report-hw: discover: ;;;Unknown;Maxtor 90650U2;/dev/hda (6GB - ide1 master)
info: /bin/report-hw: discover: ;;;Unknown;WDC WD84AA;/dev/hdb (8GB - ide1 slave)
Make md0 an lvm partition, configure volume group vg00 and four
logical volumes:
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-root_lv 575813 64563 480530 12% /target
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-home_lv 1965459 8239 1852363 0% /target/home
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-usr_lv 1965459 82778 1777824 4% /target/usr
info: /bin/report-hw: df: /dev/mapper/vg00-var_lv 1074853 48619 968890 5% /target/var
Write changes. Error on console #4:
"grub-installer: /boot is a lvm partition (dev/mapper/vg00-root_lv),
cannot install grub".
Lilo is given as an option in the installer menu. I choose to install
to the MBR of /dev/md0, this pops up a nag box saying the partition is
not marked active ("/dev/md/0 doesn't contain a valid partition
table").
If I mark it active, lilo-installer fails with:
sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/md/0 unrecognized partition
sfdisk: 0 no such partition
Not marking the partition as active makes the lilo-installer fail with
an "error code 1"
So I can't get a boot-loader onto this system.
(Note that if I create another raid-1 container just for /boot, and
leave /root and the others configured as LVM partitions on a separate
raid container, the install works great, using grub this time).
Here are detailed logs after each choice offered by the installer.
