Bug#578338: Acknowledgement (debian-installer: grub-install fails to md0)



Some further information on this ... 

Today I tried a lenny install on the same system using the lenny
installer, but using the existing partition table and raid1 device
created during the previously reported failed squeeze installation. 

I noticed that the partition table was a little odd. fdisk reported the
swap partitions I had created did not end on cylinder boundaries and the
lenny grub-install also failed. After going back within the installer to
delete and re-create the md device and partitions, lenny installation
was successful, including grub-install.

Seeing that, I decided to see if maybe the daily-image installer would
work with the partion tables created from within the lenny installer.

It did work fine.

So, it seems that something about the partitioner is broken with
respect to grub-pc.

I use manual partioning, not guided, in all cases.
