This was the d-i netinst amd64 image for 20060920, on Dell PowerEdge 1950 hardware; there are two SATA disks configured with softraid (RAID1) across the two disks, and then LVM on these, so the path was: - netinst boot. - from partitioner, select Configure RAID , then "Finish", so that RAID configuration is spotted. Then - "Configure LVM" to detect the LVM configuration. This fails with "LVM could not be configured; you may need lvm-mod. " In a seperate console, lsmod shows no lsm modules. The syslog does show: "dm_mod: Unknown symbol idr_replace" Now, this morning I repeated this with the same CD and with the weekly image amd64 binary-1.iso : the bug is no longer present on the 20060918 weekly image. Todays daily netinst image for amd64 failed to spot the CD, and so I could not test this far; I am investigating this further before submitting a bug report. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
