--- Begin Message ---Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: RC1 netinst (current as of 2006-01-06) Date: 2001-01-06 Processor: Intel Pentium 4 RAM: 1 GB Disks: Two ATA IDE disks Summary: Debian installer does not let you activate md devices in rescue mode. I tried to use the Debian installer to rescue an Etch system without working grub boot loader, but the rescue system did only list the partitions on the physical disks; it did not consider the grouping of partitions to md devices, and it did not have md devices available in its /dev for manual mounting. See the thread of the following mail for details: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/01/msg00220.html Somebody pointed out that you can apparently go into the RAID setup tool and immediately finish to get md devices, but that is not obvious to the regular user. ****** General remarks on rescue system: While the regular Debian installer has come a long way (thanks a lot, all folks working on it), its effectivity as a rescue tool still leaves a lot to be desired. I want to point out that d-i, or a specific rescue disk, is of great value since an effective rescue system should be as close to the real system as possible (device naming and availability, modules behavior, /proc,/sys,/dev/...). However, the current d-i as a rescue system is too limited: without mounting the final installation volumes, too few utilities are available and too few operations are possible. What's more, the point in the installation process where the partitions are possibly affected is not clear to the user: how much of the initial configuration happens purely in the installer (ramdisk mode), and how much needs the disks? For me, an improved rescue functionality would have been very beneficial in many past situations. -- Claus Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.clausfischer.com/
