My new filename: issue-installation-report_No-boot-from-raid-partition-on-beta2-i386-20101209.utf
Boot method: DVD install.
Image version: Full URL to image downloaded. Only the first DVD 1 of the set is required.
Date: 09 December 2010.
Installing from debian squeeze di b2 i386 Bin-1 ( Beta 2, Beta-2 )
gives the same symptoms as Beta-1 install :-
Using graphical installer:
Scan another CD or DVD? (No) ( I used the first dvd only, to reproduce the symptom.)
I am trying to boot from a raid 1 (mirror) set, md2 = /boot, md0 = /swap, md1 = /. See above for details.
I installed the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record.
Finish the installation : Installation complete, so it is time to boot into your new system...
The hardware post and bios progress ok.
When the bios hands over to continue the ipl from a hard disk it seems unsuccessful, it just waits.
*** This is where the install fails. It does not boot up into the newly installed system. ***
I repeated the install up to, but not setting passwords, to the dd-mm (Debian Installer-Main Menu) to:
Check the CD-ROM(s) integrity. (On the same target machine.)
Integrity test successful. The CD-ROM is valid.
The squeeze di b2 i386 Bin-1 dvd integrity passed ok.
Thank you for any help to get my raid 1 booting. Regards, McTech.
