d-i beta3 can't install kernel on a DAC960 (Mylex Acceleraid 150) raid controller
Hello, I did a default install except for manually edit the partition table, made in this way: first : ext3, 3Gb, / second : swap, 512M third : reiserfs, 15Gb, /home After setting up the system the installer stops telling Unable to install the selected kernel. Looking at the logs in the third console, i see that error: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituent device /dec/disc0/part1 does not exist Failed to create inirtd image. I'm stuck. Any ideas?

The problem you mention there seems like problem on installing grub, while in my case I can't go so far, deboostrap (at least I suppose) fails after trying to setup the kernel, I can't reach the grub installation phase. I've reverted to using 3.0r2 installer right now (must install the server this evening), but I'll try again on an equivalent hw if the problem get corrected.

I've reverted to using 3.0r2 installer right now (must install the server this evening), but I'll try again on an equivalent hw if the problem get corrected. The main problem as i see it, about the DAC960 is that it is more or less useless if you have more than 1GB memory. It's absolutly useless if you have more than 4 GB -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bugs #232415 and #235617 both deal with this issue... Don't think it's yet been resolved in a way that doesn't involve manually fixing the fstab and creating devices however. -- Nathan Poznick [EMAIL PROTECTED] I sentence you to be hung by the neck until you cheer up. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
