Package: Debian Installer
Version: 3.1
I have been installing Debian Stable 3.1 (Sarge) onto some Dell SC1425
servers and have run into a problem with the partitioning in the
installer.
The servers have a pair of SATA drives which I am setting up in a level 1
RAID array. Once I have created the md devices and assigned a filesystem
and mount point to the array I select the option to complete paritioning
and proceed. The installer then attempts to format each partition but
fails for the RAID array devices as it expects an device name
(/dev/md/0p1) that is inconsistent with the device node created by devfs
(/dev/md/0).
I worked around the problem by using the console on tty2 to manually mknod
the necessary device to suite the incorrect naming expected in the
installer however I would not expect anyone not familiar with Linux
sysadmin to know how to do this or even that it is necessary.

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.
