Same box, same aims to produce a box for tests. I have added more RAM so that the installation does not continue in "low memory mode", and on the first attempt just re-used the partition structures for hdb and hdc, with hda not touched. I was again notified that no swap partitions had been activated. I then re-started the entire installation and deliberately deleted all partitions on hdb and hdc and created new partitions with different dimensions so that there could not be any carry-over from before, hda still untouched. I noticed that the swap partition already created by the auto-installation on hda is labelled with a capital F, but the manual installation on hdb and hdc has both swap partitions labelled lower-case f. I then configured software RAID, and noticed that all swap partitions were now labelled capital F. Is this the problem? I continued with the installation, accepted the Desktop environment and Standard system, and again reached "[!!] Configuring uswsusp" and informed that there is no valid active swap partition. I selected "go back", there was a long delay, then installation and configuration appeared to continue until a failure message appeared. Microsoft sells you Windows ...
