Comments/Problems:
- D-I failed to read the discover and the grub package from the
downloaded and self-burnt netinst CD; I could find out the grub
package name from the log on tty2 and enter a wget command on
tty1, download the package and apt-get install it. Repeating the
grub step did work then. The installer might perhaps offer to
download defective packages from the net ...
- I chose the swap space to reside on /dev/md1 (which is a
RAID-1 from /dev/hda2 and /dev/hdb2). The partitioning tool
accepted my choice but the swap space wasn't entered into
the fstab.
- The root filesystem was created on a logical volume, the
PV for which is on /dev/md2 (RAID-1 from /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb3).
/boot was assigned to /dev/md0 (RAID-1 from /dev/hd?1).
The partitioning tool understood this scheme only after I did
everything in "the right order": Create the LVs, set / as mount
point for the root LV, and _only_then_ set /boot as mount point
for /dev/md0. When I assigned /boot before /, /boot was
forgotten.
- The network interfaces were correctly identified during the
installation: The onboard e1000's as eth1 and eth2, the sk98lin
as eth0 (IIRC), and the typhoon as eth3. So I configured eth1
as primary interface to the outside world, and it worked (see
above: I could download the replacement grub package). But after
rebooting into the installed system no interface was active
(none of the necessary modules loaded, none entered into the
/etc/modules file). I modprobed e1000 and with "ifup eth0=eth1"
could continue with the installation.
Now, looking at the installation logs, I suspect that this
could have been caused by the failure to install discover.
- The installation got _very_ slow because, after partitioning,
the RAID-1 volumes started synchronizing. It might be better
(and hopefully not too fragile) to create the RAID-1's as
one-way mirrors first and later on add the second devices, thus
starting off the sync process.
- With /boot on RAID-1 it would be very nice and comfortable if
the installer created a grub MBR and boot code on the second
disk too ...
