Bug#349762: installation-report: dmraid raid devices doesn't works
Package: installation-report
Severity: normal
Raid array devices supported by dmraid doesn't works in at the debian
install stage (i tried with a Promise Fasttrack 133 lite).
For example two disk in Raid Mirror or Stripe will be detected as
two single drives because d-i doesn't load dmraid modules and doesn't
create /dev/mapper dmraid devices. Probably there is need of a
dmraid-udeb package.
Other correlated bugs are already submitted in hw-detect #338719 and
yaird #337724.
Gentoo seems to have support for dmraid recently in initrd [1]
Here is also a manual configuration how-to for ubuntu (probably works also with debian) [2].
