Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: partman-md
On a power5 system, I went partway through a 20070201.1 alternate
install and built RAID on the drives. When I went back to the install
with Herd 3 after experiencing problems with the daily, I found myself
in a catch-22 in partman-md.
I was unable to use the md device, unable to remove it (although it
prompted me to remove an raid5 volume that appeared to be the one I made
earlier) as it complained of /dev/md/0 not existing. I was of course
unable to make a new raid volume as it could not find any unused raid
partitions.
What's worse, the retry/cancel cycle would silently die when I tried to
cancel, leaving me with a progress bar at 47% and no interface to
continue.
I tried deleting and recreating the partitions, rebooting in between,
but had no luck.
