Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: 20041118
Hi,
I just installed a machine with the most recent installation
floppy set (continuing with ftp.de.debian.org as the online
debian mirror).
I was quite happy to see that the installer supports the
configuration of software RAID devices from the first installation and
made use of it. But then the auto-installed 2.4 kernel did not boot
because it did not know how to treat RAID partitions. RAID is
obviously not compiled into the kernel. Since at this stage of
installation it is not possible to modify the ramdisk, I had to
completely restart the installation.
Therefore I propose one of three solutions:
- Print a warning that the system can't boot from RAID with
this kernel
- Have the maintainer of the kernel packages compile them with
RAID built in
- Include the raid modules in the initial ramdisk.
regards
Hadmut

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
