Comments/Problems:
Problem after partitioning :
[!] Partition disks
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/md0
(Invalid Argument).
(same for md2)
I can press "Continue" and everything goes smooth and the installation
runs well.
as I have a runing telnet, I can see that during the installation:
# cat /proc/mdstat
reports the array OK (or resysnching .. depending when I cat the file)
