I read http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=251905 and I didn't want to go through all that, especially because I'm not familiar with grub. Only tried it on the side, after I had the md's set up I couldn't get back to set up the lvm's. Take note however that I didn't use the latest and greatest installer. One thing that might be a (small) new bug, I just thought about, I noticed that I could only select partitions for use with md's, not whole disks, like I did with hd[eg] >> During CD detection my external firewire Plextor CD/DVD `DVDR >> PX-504A' was not found.

The only thing that's relevant for the installation, to my humble opinion, is that with a 2.6 install, I would expect it to show up during the `probe for CD players', since I could mount it without any problems with `mount /dev/scd0 /mnt'. I wouldn't dare to blame the fact that the kernel freezes on the installer. I'll play with 2.6 and see if I can give any helpful feedback to the driver developers. > It looks like you used an older image that has 2.4.27 as default and > 2.6.8 as alternative.

I'm pretty glad I have things up and running again, and not looking forward to any more downtime :-) sorry. Good to see people are really jumping this stuff, I love Debian!
