Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
I am unable to install lenny (5.0.5), i386 using RAID5, dm-crypt and LVM.
I got
/dev/sda (2TB)
/dev/sdb (2TB)
/dev/sdc (2TB)
and want to install the system unsing RAID5.
I use:
/dev/sda1 (256MB)
/dev/sdb1 (256MB)
/dev/sdc1 (256MB)
/dev/sda2 (about 4TB)
/dev/sdb2 (about 4TB)
/dev/sdc2 (about 4TB)
Configure Sofware-RAID
New RAID1
/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1
New RAID5
/dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2, /dev/sdc2
RAID5 #1
physical Volume for encryption
Erase data: No
Configure encrypted device
Enter password 2 times
Encrypted device (md1_crypt)
physical Volume for LVM
Configure Logical Volume Manager
Add volume-group
Name: volgroup
Use md1_crypt
Create logical volume
root, 20GB
swap, 2GB
home, (remain)
LV home

/
LV swap
swap
RAID #0 (256 MB)

/boot
When I try to go on with the installation, I get the error
"The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/md0 (Invalid argument).
This means Linux won't know anything about the modifications you made
until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing
anything with /dev/md0."
The automatically provided system-information can be ignored.
