Bug#243024: Unable to install servers using the DAC960 driver
Package: installation-reports Severity: critical Debian-installer-version: sarge-i386-netinst of 7 April Method: Boot from CD Machine: Athlon64 with Mylex Acceleraid 170 RAID Controller Problem: The installer is unable to create partitions. If I do partitions with other tools (or Woody), the installer lists them but is unable to select them and set properties (as type of file system, mount point, etc). In other words, D-I is unable to do anything on server with DAC960 driver. I think that the problem could be that the partition scheme used by the driver is unusual. Here are some examples: /dev/rd/c0d0 : first logical disk /dev/rd/c0d0p1 for first partition of first disk /dev/rd/c0d1p2 for second partition of second disk And so on.

What is the name of the kernel module that supports your RAID controller? Tell us the PCI information ( `lspci` `lspci -n` ) of the RAID controller? The module is correctly detected and loaded by the installer. His name is DAC960 and the relevant lspci lines are: 00:0d.1 RAID bus controller: Mylex Corporation DAC960PX (rev 03) 00:0d.1 Class 0104: 1069:0010 (rev 03) I think the problem is something regarding mkinitrd because it uses /dev/disc* as device while it should be /dev/rd/c0d*.

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?

Take a look at http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=510 and see if the mentioned solution there works for you. Thank you for your fast reply. 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.

Bug#235418: Various blocking problems installing on a RAID server -- d-i snapshot of 23/02/2004
the megaraid2 driver for my raid controller but the driver megaraid is not used on the initrd image, so, after the reboot, the old and limited driver is used on the system instead. That's all for now, thanks for your work and don't esitate to ask me details if they are needed, but pls mail me directly since I'm not subscribed to the list.

Not only this kernel has security problems, but has an old megaraid driver. I suggest using 2.4.24 kernel and the new and much improved megaraid2 driver. Also, I'm not really sure of what is the best method to tell the system to use the 'megaraid2' driver on boot and not the 'megaraid'. A reply on that issue would be very welcome :) 4) It would be nice to have the possibility to choose postfix and grub instead of exim and lilo during install. Thanks for the excellent work and keep up making the best linux distro ever! ;) Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Debian installer beta2 - After the first boot after the install, usb keyboard not working any more
Hello, I've not well understood how to report bugs for the installer so I try writing here... I find this a grave bug: I can make all the firs part of the install (booting from the cd), but after having installed lilo and rebooting, I can proceed no more in base-setup since it does not recognise my USB keyboard any more. I had to plug in a PS/2 keyboard to continue. Thanks, Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
