Comments/Problems:
Grub:
Can't find /dev/mapper/<SATA_RAID_DRIVE>
Actually can't find /dev/mapper at all..

SATA-drives configured as RAID-0

I followed the guide on
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataRaid?highlight=

One persons makes notice of:

Lenny bootinstall (end of 04/2008)

    Following the above I ended up in grub complaining about error 23 (by memory, I didn't take note) since it wrote in menu.lst

    root (isw_XXX_Volume0)

    Fixing was just a matter of editing the root line and changing it to

    root (hd0,0)
booting with this (correct) adjustement the system hangs,
 only the image of loading is still mentioned.


After this I try to find
/dev/mapper/<SATA_RAID_DRIVE> to see if it exists.. But /dev/mapper doesn't exist.

I am able to find other dirs on the disk. f.ex. /boot/grub/menu.lst


Can someone

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.
