Comments/Problems:
It's difficult to install Debian on a RAID only system (in that case software
RAID1). The partitioning completes with the creation of the filesystem. The
partitions itself are created at a later step during RAID setup. The
installation stops with the error "no / defined". Thats true because all
partitions are marked as software RAID partition. Creating the RAID is only
possible after completion of the partitioning process which can only be
completed after creating the RAID.
Workaround: I selected one partition as "/" and was able to complete the
partitioning. Then I created the RAID and was now able to create file system
structure on it.
Solution: it should be possible to complete the partitioning task without "/"
when the partitions created are marked for use by software RAID.
Additional the order is confusing. Creation of RAID is sorted after the
creation of LVM. But I think it would be done always in the reversed order:
first create RAID then the LVM on it.
The last steps are not completed because the kernel traps turing file system
creation. If I read correctly this should be fixed meanwhile.

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.
