Installing a Dell 1950 Server (x86_64), LVM support is broken as there

This worked with the i386 installer of the same build (20060920)
LVM works fine for me using current daily AMD64 image using kernel udebs
based on -9.
Please be more specific as to what is failing.
Is it just that you do not see the LVM option in the main partman menu? If
so, that is because an interface change. Please see the installation
guide on alioth.
Sorry about the delay in replying; the servers are at work, so I had to
wait until today.
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.
