On closer inspection I have a clue to add to the mystery.
On a normal successful install I see the error
dpkg: warning, architecture 'amd64' not in remapping table.
as I mentioned before. But it only happens once and the install keeps on
going quite happily.
I know it occurs as the kernel package (or maybe one just after it) is
installed.
What I am seeing when my install fails is the installer trying to
install the kernel (or this other mystery package) over and over again.
The error message I see is misleading and I don't think it has anything
to do with the actual problem I am facing.
So, I still wonder what is going on and if anyone else has installed to
RAID5 from sarge?
I have seen this on three seperate machines now with various sarge
install CDs over the last few months. I assume from this that you cannot
install to a RAID5 root partition using sarge AMD64. I have done it from
i386 sarge install CD many times with no trouble.
Guess I'll keep juggling partitions for now.

No ideas apart from being speachless. Doesn't look like an straight

From a technical standpoint I certainly can not add anything to what Goswin
just has said, but I did have one thought. If you can install root
successfully to a non-raid partition, have you tried converting that over to
RAID. Use some of your remaining free space to create a RAID partition and
copy your root partition over to it (I've done something similar on several
occasions with Knoppix). Then edit your boot loader & have a go. (That's
particularly easy with GRUB.)
