severity 391345 serious thanks This is still a problem, and as it make the package impossible to install from the installer, I raise the severity.
I tried to install it for the first time, and this failed. Luckily the aoe-mkdevs program was already unpacked, so I could use it to work around the problem. Of course, I am using udev, so the correct fix would be to load the aoe kernel module instead. Here is the log showing what I did: # aptitude install aoetools Reading package lists...
