Bug#567590: Reproducable
I managed to reproduce the problem on my laptop with a KVM instance and
two 8G QEMU drive images. I used the i386 Debian 5.03 net installer CD
and started an expert install. I put a GPT on each of the two drives
and created a single partition on each. I instructed the installer to
use each as a physical device for software RAID.
Here's the interesting bit. I sped through the menus and discovered
that the RAID system was quite happy to create a RAID1 for me. I went
back, deleted the RAID, and started over. The second time, I was able
to reproduce the bug. The only difference between these two runs was
that I remembered to flag both drives as bootable the second time. It
seems that a bootable GPT partition is the problem; the RAID menu system
doesn't seem to see it. (Again, mdadm works just fine.)
Cheers,
Zach
