Comments/Problems:

2 SATA 120Gb drives configured during install as RAID1 device - all
seemed fine with the partitioning

However, during the first reboot, it failed to fsck /dev/md0
and therefore wouldn't mount it - from dmesg:
SCSI subsystem initialized
sbp2: $Rev: 1219 $ Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>
Capability LSM initialized
md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27
md: md0 stopped.

I hit Cntl-D to continue booting.  The system installed OK with /home
on the / partition instead of /dev/md0 as per partitioning during
install.  

Looking back through the archive I found  a post from Laurent CARON
re: raid which explained how to manually create a raid array and so I
did the following:
cma@Mars:~$ sudo mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -n2 -l1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
mdadm: /dev/sda1 appears to be part of a raid array:
level=1 devices=2 ctime=Wed Dec 15 23:43:56 2004
mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array:
level=1 devices=2 ctime=Wed Dec 15 23:43:56 2004
mdadm: size set to 120053632K
Continue creating array? y
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.

I then edited /etc/fstab and did:
$ mount -a
$ df -h
which gave the right result:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             251M  110M  129M  46% /
tmpfs                 252M     0  252M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda8             358M  8.1M  331M   3% /tmp
/dev/hda5             4.6G  299M  4.1G   7% /usr
/dev/hda6             2.8G   94M  2.6G   4% /var
/dev/md0              113G   33M  107G   1% /home

However, after reboot I get the same error:
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock

So, I'm a bit stuck.  Googling produced posts on booting from
a RAID partition.  All I'm trying to do is mount a RAID1
partition on an installed system.  Any pointers would be
appreciated. 

The other problem that arose was when installing the
2.6.8-1-386-smp kernel - I got a kernel panic.  I've yet to
tackle this but will post in due course.

For the install I booted "expert26" and it dealt with the
SATA drives with no problem - great thanks ;)

Regards

Clive

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.
