Initially I started the installer in expert mode priority low and dmraid 
true. IIRC the main menu didn't show up until after partman when I 
switched to multipath support. I used guided partitioning with LVM. I 
was in new territory both with the installer in expert mode and finding 
the right settings to get the installer to work with me.
The finished installation didn't boot- grub error 2. 
I reboot in rescue mode 3 times in all finally finishing the 
installation in rescue mode.I took a look around the filesystem and 
chroot(ed) in rescue mode.
I got stuck with libc6 - finally erasing the partition and continuing.
I rebooted again in rescue mode but didn't offer the dmraid option. So I 
rebooted in rescue mode again using the dmraid option.
The installer kept trying to mount /dev/sda1 on /target  when 
entering "rescue"? from the main menu and failing, obviously - or is it? 
I finally went back to partman deleted all partitions except the first 
one. and repartitioned the way I like it. /boot on the first partition 
and / of the first logical partition. After this step the installer 
seemed to go into auto mode for the final steps of the installation.
It was a VERY noticable difference. I recieved the grub message about 
loading into raid being experimental, tapped the enter key finishing the 
install rebooted and got Grub error 2. I went into the bios and changed 
the boot order. - rebooted, than had to change the ATA legacy/enhanced 
setting - rebooted and had to change the settings again to get the RAID 
maintenance menu showing at bootup and finally Grub found the kernel and 
booted without a hitch.

thanks

Hi,

thanks you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all bugs (which are all about RAID) mentioned here and closed 
them if
- they indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they were (very) old.

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply or just file a new one - 
thats often better, as the bug log will be more clear.


cheers,
	Holger
