Comments/Problems:

	- D-I failed to read the discover and the grub package from the
	  downloaded and self-burnt netinst CD; I could find out the grub
	  package name from the log on tty2 and enter a wget command on
	  tty1, download the package and apt-get install it. Repeating the
	  grub step did work then. The installer might perhaps offer to
	  download defective packages from the net ...
	
	- I chose the swap space to reside on /dev/md1 (which is a
	  RAID-1 from /dev/hda2 and /dev/hdb2). The partitioning tool
	  accepted my choice but the swap space wasn't entered into
	  the fstab.
	
	- The root filesystem was created on a logical volume, the
	  PV for which is on /dev/md2 (RAID-1 from /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb3).
	  /boot was assigned to /dev/md0 (RAID-1 from /dev/hd?1).
	  The partitioning tool understood this scheme only after I did
	  everything in "the right order": Create the LVs, set / as mount
	  point for the root LV, and _only_then_ set /boot as mount point
	  for /dev/md0. When I assigned /boot before /, /boot was
	  forgotten.
	
	- The network interfaces were correctly identified during the
	  installation: The onboard e1000's as eth1 and eth2, the sk98lin
	  as eth0 (IIRC), and the typhoon as eth3. So I configured eth1
	  as primary interface to the outside world, and it worked (see
	  above: I could download the replacement grub package). But after
	  rebooting into the installed system no interface was active
	  (none of the necessary modules loaded, none entered into the
	  /etc/modules file). I modprobed e1000 and with "ifup eth0=eth1"
	  could continue with the installation.
	  
	  Now, looking at the installation logs, I suspect that this
	  could have been caused by the failure to install discover.
	
	- The installation got _very_ slow because, after partitioning,
	  the RAID-1 volumes started synchronizing. It might be better
	  (and hopefully not too fragile) to create the RAID-1's as
	  one-way mirrors first and later on add the second devices, thus
	  starting off the sync process.
	
	- With /boot on RAID-1 it would be very nice and comfortable if
	  the installer created a grub MBR and boot code on the second
	  disk too ...

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.
