IIRC the main menu didn't show up until after partman when I switched to multipath support. I used guided partitioning with LVM. I was in new territory both with the installer in expert mode and finding the right settings to get the installer to work with me. The finished installation didn't boot- grub error 2. I reboot in rescue mode 3 times in all finally finishing the installation in rescue mode.I took a look around the filesystem and chroot(ed) in rescue mode. I got stuck with libc6 - finally erasing the partition and continuing. I rebooted again in rescue mode but didn't offer the dmraid option. So I rebooted in rescue mode again using the dmraid option. The installer kept trying to mount /dev/sda1 on /target when entering "rescue"? from the main menu and failing, obviously - or is it? I finally went back to partman deleted all partitions except the first one. and repartitioned the way I like it. /boot on the first partition and / of the first logical partition. After this step the installer seemed to go into auto mode for the final steps of the installation. It was a VERY noticable difference. I recieved the grub message about loading into raid being experimental, tapped the enter key finishing the install rebooted and got Grub error 2. I went into the bios and changed the boot order. - rebooted, than had to change the ATA legacy/enhanced setting - rebooted and had to change the settings again to get the RAID maintenance menu showing at bootup and finally Grub found the kernel and booted without a hitch.

I read through all bugs (which are all about RAID) mentioned here and closed them if - they indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they were (very) old. If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be more clear. cheers, Holger
