After installing from CD, the network is not configured, and the file /etc/networking/interfaces must be changed by hand to list the interfaces there. Although the network is not used in the installation itself, it should be configured correctly anyway. ["dpkg-reconfigure netabse" dosn't do anything!] I have seen the same kind of troubles described in Bug#251905. My workaround was somewhat different, and I did not use LVM. When the screen "Unable to install selected kernel" is on vt1, I have installed 'mdadm' in the target chroot system, did some cleanup [rm -fr /usr/bin/awk /lib/modules] to allow debootstrap to work again and installed the base-system in a dirty filesystem for a second time. Eventually, I have skipped installing grub because grub dosn't know about /dev/md* The raid configuration should also allow to use 'missing' devices, because the number of drives cannot be changed later and I do not want to destroy the filesystem that was working OK without raid, before configuring and testing with the new raid installation is OK. Only then I want to hotadd the old disk and have the benefits of RAID1. There are only a few 'small' steps needed and the warning about debian not supporting RAID on root and boot can be removed: - If RAID is configured, 'mdadm' must be installed before the kernel is configured. - grub needs to learn about raid partitions - debootstrap must allow redoing its work on a dirty filesystemi [scripts/sarge:167 ln -fs mawk $TARGET/usr/bin/awk] The Raid partitioning dialogue allows you to define a new partition table on a raid device. I have doubts about this being supported by the kernel. This may need attention of someone: Jun 26 23:57:10 (none) syslog.warn klogd: md: parted_server(pid 17876) used obsolete MD ioctl, upgrade your software to use new ictls.

Othewise a kernel parameter "vga=ext" will be reset.... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- -o) Matthijs Melchior Maarssen /\\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netherlands _\_v ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---- --------------------------------------- Received: (at 257796-done) by bugs.debian.org; 9 Sep 2004 13:29:30 +0000 >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 09 06:29:30 2004 Return-path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from post-24.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.194] by spohr.debian.org with esmtp (Exim 3.35 1 (Debian)) id 1C5OzS-0002P5-00; Thu, 09 Sep 2004 06:29:30 -0700 Received: from aglu.demon.nl ([82.161.38.140]:65377 helo=localhost) by post-24.mail.nl.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 4.34) id 1C5OzR-000LUd-9o for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Thu, 09 Sep 2004 13:29:29 +0000 Received: from localhost.localdomain (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by localhost (Postfix) with ESMTP id BBD4C10D61E for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Thu, 9 Sep 2004 15:31:06 +0200 (CEST) Subject: Presumed fixed From: Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.6 Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2004 15:31:06 +0200 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 (1.212-2003-09-23-exp) on spohr.debian.org X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-3.0 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2004_03_25 X-Spam-Level: > Please try RC1 of the installer and let us know whether or not > the problem with network configuration has been solved.
