After fixing bug #704635 I tested a new Debian Wheezy setup today. To exclude any partition layout specific issues, I allowed Debian to use the whole disk with the automatic partitioning layout including ext4.

Result: Setup (using mini.iso, FTP source=mirror.switch.ch) completely runs fine but startup of the installed system fails after OS selection in GRUB:

Difference to the earlier tests with the small disks: It always fails (I repeated booting several times).

Hardware is a IBM NetVista A40 (model 6840-QDG) equipped with a Promise Fastrak TX2300 PCI RAID controller and two Western Digital 2 TB Caviar Red NAS SATA hard drives configured as RAID-1.

I hope this hint better helps to reproduce this bug. Also worth to note: On the CD boot, using dmraid=yes always works fine, this bug occurs only when booting from hard drive.
