           Summary: software raid setup with debian-installer (on pre5) does
                    not work
           Product: Skolelinux
           Version: sarge-pr05
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Installation system
        AssignedTo: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
        ReportedBy: c.gatzemeier@tu-bs.de


During manual partitioning of two ide disks d-i shows an error message that 
the kernel could not re-read the partition table (invalid argument) and 
suggested to reboot. This happened after writing the partition table when
entering the LVM setup.


However LVM on RAID does successfully install (raid 1 /dev/md[0,1] as physical
volumes in volume groups) on the very same hardware with the debian-installer
and kernel from plain debian 3.1r0a CDs. It also works from unbuntu hoary CDs.

So it seems to be somthing related to the skolelinux install system or CD building.
Maybe other versions of d-i? Kernel config? A process accessing the disk during
setup (newdrifbook talks about stoping smartsuite in the running system when
doing this)
