It's a little bit strange that this happens with both Lenny beta2 and
the weekly snapshot. The weekly snapshot should contain the changes
that made the installer detect both previous RAID and LVM devices during
startup but those changes are not present in the beta2 CD.
Let's focus on the weekly snapshot for now. Does the installer
completely hang or can you switch to other Linux consoles (through
Alt+F2 for example)?
If you can, could you please give us the output of the following
command:
$ ps | grep partman
$ cat /proc/mdstat
$ pvs
If any of these commands hang, the problem is probably kernel related.
