I installed Debian lenny successfully using the beta2 installer.
However the installer didn't support raid10, and I already created a raid10 array (using Debian sid from an old HDD), and a raid1 array.

I installed on the raid1, and then copied /usr, /var over to the raid10 after rebooting. It would have been much easier, if the installer would have supported raid10!

The current development version (daily builds) of the debian-installer
support RAID 10.  It should automatically detect your previous RAID 10
partitions when starting the partitioner.

Could you give it a try?  You don't actually have to proceed further
than the main partioning screen.

I'll try it and report back (probably before thursday).

I tried the latest netinst daily build from 25-Aug-2008 11:35 161M
My raid10 array is detected by the kernel, and /dev/md4 shows up, however the partition manager won't start!!

I select Manual partitioning, and then I get a blank screen for a split second (with some one-line warning/error message that I don't have time to read!), and then a screen with 'Starting up the partitioner', and a progress bar stuck at 52%.

If I boot in expert install mode, after pressing Manual partitioning I get back to the screen where I can select what step to run. It looks like the partition manager has quit with some error, however neither /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman, or dmesg show what the error is. Luckily /dev/md3 was up, so I mounted it, and copied the logs there, see the attachment (inst.tar.gz).

Any idea what is going on?
