Bug#535444: debian-installer: squeeze installer does not detect raid partitions
Package: debian-installer Version: Severity: normal Hello, I just tried to install debian from squeeze build of 02-Jul-2009 05:48 (netinst). Although I partitioned the individual partitions of my harddrives as 'physical volume for RAID' the installer can't see the partitions when trying to configure the Software RAID (it states that there are no partitions marked as raid autodetect). Anyway, in order to reconfirm this issue I tried the lenny installer which is working and thus does not have this issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (650, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#535447: debian-installer: no warning about grub's incapability to boot from raid10
Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Hi, it just occured to me, that the debian-installer will not give any warning in case there is no separated /boot while the rootfs is a raid10-array. In general the installer should either ensure that there is a separated /boot (which cant be raid10) or if there is no individual /boot-partition it should atleast ensure that the rootfs is not a raid10-array - otherwise grub will not work (even grub-installer on the installation-shell moans about grub's incapability to boot off a raid10-array), thus the installation will even not finnish. regards, Patrick -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (650, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#492790: debian-installer: lvm+raid+cryptfs blues
5). I was never able to boot my crypted system without manually adding the cryptopts=source=/dev/md1,target=md1_crypt,lvm=vg0-root parameters to the grub menu.lst file. I've discovered that this is because the generated fstab has UUID entries in, which upsets the cryptroot initramfs hook. Obviously this codepath has never been tested. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522041 is the relevant bug and has a patch.
