Hi guys,

OS: Ubuntu Server 10.4 (64-bit)
Hardware: Silicon Image Products Raid Controller with simple 2 HD 
mirror+hotswap configuration.

After some fighting with this problem I found a solution (I get similar
errors to the above, so won't bore you all with a post of my logs):

The raid device is mapped to /dev/mapper/(raiddevice) and the partitions
are named /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)p1, /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)p2 and
/dev/mapper/(raiddevice)p5.

However, partman is trying to access the partitions as
/dev/mapper/(raiddevice)1, /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)2 and
/dev/mapper/(raiddevice)5 and failing.

When it was the time to apply the settings, I openned a shell (Alt-F2)
and renamed the files to the correct filenames

mv /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)p1 /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)1
mv /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)p2 /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)2
mv /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)p5 /dev/mapper/(raiddevice)5

Then switched back to the install shell (Alt-F1) and hit continue - the
installation continued seamlessly.

I hope this helps.
