Is this an LSI RAID card, or a fakeraid? If it's a fakeraid, I advise you to backup the data and destroy the fakeraid, then re-install from scratch with a clean mdadm software RAID. > This machine used to have Lenny but an important component was > destroyed so I decided to proceed to Wheezy skipping squeeze (which > I do not have as netinst disk!!!) That's a bad idea. You should get a squeeze disk and use it in rescue mode. > When I tried to install wheezy via netinst from CD I could not get > out of the partition menue for installation of basic components ... > > The parted-menue shows: > 1.

Where do you want to install wheezy? You don't seem to have a blank place to put it, which is a requirement. (It will happily destroy a partition for you, though.) At this point, I think you might want to boot from a live CD or USB stick and make a complete backup to an external device, remove the external device, wipe everything out and begin from scratch. Then restore data that you want from backup. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
