Package: installation-reports Version: 2.38 Severity: normal So I thought for sure this would work: PXE boot the installation system http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/netboot.tar.gz Do the install, and configure the two 18GB SCSI disks as follows: /dev/md0 raid1 swap /dev/md1 raid0 xfs / Each raid volume is made up of two partitions, and those two volumes are the only ones on the system. Installation completed, however on stable/lenny, I get an error trying to install grub to the MBR of the first disk. It worked (or appeared to work) on this latest testing version. Anyway, it cannot boot that way, which I sort of figured, so I intended to PXE boot the kernel and initrd all along. I set that up, but it fails to mount the root filesystem.Problem 1: It fails to load the sd-mod module, so there are no SCSI disks,so of course it can't initialize the raid subsystem and mount /. Problem 2: On testing/squeeze, even if I load sd-mod by hand, and then try to re-run scripts/local-top/mdadm, I get a bunch of errors saying there is no raid signature on sda or sdb. Bizarre. You're stuck at that point, there's nothing you can do.I was able to hack the initramfs on lenny and get the netbooting to work.Just adding the sd-mod to the modules file didn't get it done, so Igrossly hacked scripts/local-top/mdadm in the initramsfs to load sd- mod andthen wait for 15 seconds. That seemed to do the trick, although it still doesn't find the root filesystem right away, it goes asleep for 10-15 seconds, then finds it and proceeds. I built the initramfs with the following command on the system using rescue-mode:mkinitramfs -r /dev/md1 -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686-netboot 2.6.26-2-686-- Package-specific info: Boot method: networkImage version: current stable/lenny and this week's and last week's testingDate: 15-02-2010 Machine: dual P-III Tualatin 2GiB server Partitions: hurricane:~# df -Tl Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 xfs 34827776 583376 34244400 2% / tmpfs tmpfs 1038192 0 1038192 0% /lib/init/rw udev tmpfs 10240 592 9648 6% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 1038192 0 1038192 0% /dev/shm hurricane:~# swapon -sFilename Type Size Used Priority /dev/md0 partition 497848 0 -1hurricane:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 18.3 GB, 18351959040 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2231 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x83098309 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sda1 1 62 497983+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 63 2231 17422492+ fd Linux raid autodetecthurricane:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 18.3 GB, 18351959040 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2231 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xec77eac0 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sdb1 1 62 497983+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 63 2231 17422492+ fd Linux raid autodetectBase System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems:I was able to hack my way around the problem in lenny.

Hi, thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated. I read through all the ("boot" related) bugs mentioned here and am closing them now as - they (finally) 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, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
