My new filename: issue-installation-report_No-boot-from-raid-partition-on-beta2-i386-20101209.utf Boot method: DVD install. Image version: Full URL to image downloaded. Only the first DVD 1 of the set is required. Date: 09 December 2010. Installing from debian squeeze di b2 i386 Bin-1 ( Beta 2, Beta-2 ) gives the same symptoms as Beta-1 install :- Using graphical installer: Scan another CD or DVD? (No) ( I used the first dvd only, to reproduce the symptom.) I am trying to boot from a raid 1 (mirror) set, md2 = /boot, md0 = /swap, md1 = /. See above for details. I installed the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record. Finish the installation : Installation complete, so it is time to boot into your new system... The hardware post and bios progress ok. When the bios hands over to continue the ipl from a hard disk it seems unsuccessful, it just waits. *** This is where the install fails. It does not boot up into the newly installed system. *** I repeated the install up to, but not setting passwords, to the dd-mm (Debian Installer-Main Menu) to: Check the CD-ROM(s) integrity. (On the same target machine.) Integrity test successful. The CD-ROM is valid. The squeeze di b2 i386 Bin-1 dvd integrity passed ok. Thank you for any help to get my raid 1 booting. Regards, McTech.
