Please detail your partitioning steps, and the daily build used. I cannot create a PReP partition on the RAID1 device with the 0826 build, hitting a partitioner error, but according to your logs you could successfully create it. Thanks! For the record, I did read and tried [1] :) adapting for powerpc, which requires a PReP partition. The change of bootable flag is not working. Here's what I got: Steps to reproduce ------------------ QEMU/KVM with 2 drives (sda/sdb). wily ppc64el daily ISO of 0826. At Partitioner dialog.. Select sda Create new empty partition table: Yes Select sda's free space Automatically partition free space Select sdb Create new empty partition table: Yes Select sdb's free space Automatically partition free space Select Configure Software RAID Changes written to storage devices: Yes Create MD Device RAID 1 Number of active devices for RAID1 array: 2 Number of spare devices for RAID1 array: 2 Select sda1 and sdb1 Continue Write changes: Yes Create MD Device RAID 1 Number of active devices for RAID1 array: 2 Number of spare devices for RAID1 array: 2 Select sda2 and sdb2 Continue Write changes: Yes Create MD Device RAID 1 Number of active devices for RAID1 array: 2 Number of spare devices for RAID1 array: 2 Select sda3 and sdb3 Continue Write changes: Yes Select Finish (instead of Create MD Device) Under RAID1 device #0 - 7.3 MB, Select #1 Use as: PowerPC PReP Partition Boom: ????? [!!] Partition disks ????? ? ? ? ??? ??? ? ? ? ? <Go Back> <Continue> ? ? ? ???????????????????????????????? Here I stopped to collect the logs, as below. Go Back Go Back Go Back Execute a shell On another installation I tried to go without creating a PReP partition, and the installer refuses to proceed, as required. ????????????? [!!] Partition disks ????????????? ? ? ? No PowerPC PReP boot partition is found. ? ? ? ? Go back to the menu and resume partitioning? ? ? ? ? <Go Back> <Yes> <No> ? ? ? ???????????????????????????????????????????????? If I try to create the PReP partition, the error above always happen, and the 'Finish partitioning and write changes to disk' always loop back to the same partitioning main dialog. The logs indicate a fatal error in parted-server, as the output fifo to it is not available anymore. ~ # sed -n "/Menu item 'partman-base' selected/,\$ p" /var/log/syslog Aug 27 15:21:02 main-menu[243]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' selected Aug 27 15:21:02 kernel: [ 87.706971] ntfs: driver 2.1.32 [Flags: R/O MODULE].
