Ok, some other test.


- First test

Partition disk:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman1-1.png

Choose free space and create a new partition:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman1-2.png
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman1-3.png

Unfortunately I got an out of memory.

You can find partman and sylog log here:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/log1.tar.gz


- Second test

Partition disk:

This time I choose "Automatically partition the free space", "all files in one
partition" and I got:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman2-1.png
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman2-2.png

I selected "finish partitioning and write changes to disk and I got the bad
device with "p", and no grub support.

brw-------    1 root     root     254,   3 Aug 30 18:14 sil_aiahbgbgaaajp5


the second test log is here: http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/log2.tar.gz

- Third test (as wiki procedure but with "Automatically partition the free space")

As the second, but this time I selected "Write changes in SATA RAID partitioning
to disk", and I got:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-1.png

# ls -la /dev/mapper
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          180 Aug 30 18:50 .
drwxr-xr-x   10 root     root         2860 Aug 30 18:50 ..
crw-rw----    1 root     root      10,  60 Aug 30 18:42 control
brw-------    1 root     root     254,   0 Aug 30 18:43 sil_aiahbgbgaaaj
brw-------    1 root     root     254,   4 Aug 30 18:56 sil_aiahbgbgaaaj1
brw-------    1 root     root     254,   5 Aug 30 18:56 sil_aiahbgbgaaaj5
brw-------    1 root     root     254,   1 Aug 30 19:02 sil_aiahbgbgaaajp1
brw-------    1 root     root     254,   2 Aug 30 19:02 sil_aiahbgbgaaajp2
brw-------    1 root     root     254,   3 Aug 30 18:43 sil_aiahbgbgaaajp5

I selected partition #1 below sil_aiahbgbgaaaj1 (partion #1) and I set it for
ext3 /  :

http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-2.png

Now I selected sil_aiahbgbgaaaj5 (partition #5) and pressed enter:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-3.png
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-4.png

Now I got:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-5.png

I selected Free space and create a new partition, set it as swap area:
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-6.png

Now I selected "finish partitioning and write changes to disk
http://sd6.iuculano.it/dmraid-testing/partman3-7.png

Installed base system: OK

This time, I can install grub. Installation terminated successfully


- Fourth test

As the first, but I increased virtual machine memory to 512MB (In first test was
256MB).
Same out of memory.



In conclusion, If I try to follow wiki procedure I can't create new partition,
but only "Automatically partition the free space", otherwise I got an out of memory
