Bug#499285: debian-installer: A reinstall of a machine that used LVM over software RAID had partitioning problems

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: daily build 16th Sep
Severity: normal

I have a machine that had been used in a Linux Software RAID-1
configuration with LVM running on top of the RAID.  The Debian Installer
recognised the LVM devices which in most cases is a good thing.

But having LVM enabled it was unable to cease all kernel access to the
partitions for the purpose of getting the kernel to recognise the new
partitions I created (I decided I wanted a slightly different RAID
installation for the rebuild).

So when it gave errors about being unable to get the kernel to recognise
the devices I rebooted and then it recognised the devices and allowed me
to create a new software RAID installation.
