Details about the setup itself: As shown at http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/Fata_Morgana_Partitionen.jpg I cannot use the partitions shown below "pdc_iicbbhfc (mirror)" (I even must unselect the swap partition there), instead using the separate entries shown at http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/Partitionen_korrekt.jpg works fine. Note: For Norton Ghost compatibility I prepartitioned and formatted the hard drive first before starting the Debian setup. GRUB installs successfully with the right special device (note: I use a separate /boot parition with bootable flag so a standard MBR will work, i.e. "fdisk /mbr" at MS-DOS 6.22 does not destroy GRUB) as shown at http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/GRUB_Partition.jpg The actual issue: Each second time, my Debian box fails to boot with the message shown at http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/Boot_Fehler_sporadisch.jpg http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/dmesg.txt When I do "exit" the BusyBox, I even get a kernel panic: http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/Kernelpanic_bei_BusyBox_exit.jpg Details about the Promise controller and RAID setup: http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/BIOS_Meldung_Promise.jpg Note: The PXE boot shown there is a known issue on the Intel Pro 100S NICs and has nothing to do with the bug described before. In case of a successful boot (no update-grub needed - just powering off and on), "dmesg" shows like http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/dmesg_Start_erfolgreich.txt Used partitioning layout (run after successful boot): root@smbserv:~# fdisk -l /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc Disk /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc: 250.0 GB, 250000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30394 cylinders, total 488281250 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc1 63 514079 257008+ 6 FAT16 /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc2 * 514080 1333394 409657+ 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc3 1333395 4417874 1542240 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc4 4417875 488279609 241930867+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc5 4417938 22860494 9221278+ 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc6 22860558 104791994 40965718+ 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc7 104792058 110944889 3076416 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc8 110944953 114430994 1743021 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc9 114431058 134913869 10241406 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc10 134913933 142094924 3590496 83 Linux /dev/mapper/pdc_iicbbhfc11 142094988 488279609 173092311 83 Linux root@smbserv:~# _ For more details (I hope to have collected all important details inside the BusyBox state) see all additional files at http://beilagen.dreael.ch/Diverses/dmraid_Wheezy_Bugs/ I hope these informations will help you improve the next Debian release. :-) Andreas -- meile.biz IT solutions, Hauptstrasse 63, CH-8242 Hofen SH PC/Netzwerk-Support, Web-Entwicklung und -Hosting, IT Security Tel. +41 52 640 04 72 * Fax +41 52 640 04 73 * Mobile +41 79 334 05 67Postfach 169, CH-8240 Thayngen * i...@meile.biz * http://www.meile.biz
