Hi, I couldn't help but notice that there is no support for software RAID arrays in the sparc installer.
All I found to document it was: partman-md (24) unstable; urgency=low [ Fabio M. Di Nitto ] * RAID cannot be selected if we are on sparc AND the partiton starts at 0 otherwise there will partition table corruption happening in the first 512 bytes of the disk. (NOTE: this will work only once patch for sparc/raid support will make it in parted) [...] -- Frans Pop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sat, 29 Apr 2006 03:30:04 +0200 Oddly enough, I can't seem to find the problem there, because parted code doesn't seem to have exceptions for sparc... Some more digging excavated me the bug #315009, saying the "Use as: physical volume for RAID" option is missing. That bug was closed with: Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 17:45:22 -0300 [...] parted (1.6.25.1-3) unstable; urgency=low [...] * Apply patch to fix RAID usage in SPARC. Thanks to Fabio Di Nitto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Closes: #355467) So how come this didn't propagate into debian-installer for etch? -- 2.
