Hi Martin, Mounting /proc is just a habit -- the actual fix was using DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND=1. I did a new install (on i386 this time, previously I've been on amd64), with the disk split into a root and RAID1 partition to ensure mdadm would be installed. It failed during base install, at which point I ran: mkdir /target/install-log mount > /target/install-log/mount cat /proc/partitions > /target/install-log/partitions cp -r /var/log /target/install-log/varlog chroot /target sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/mdadm.postinst configure >/install-log/config.txt 2>&1 exit umount /target/raid umount /target then put the disk in another machine and tarred it up. I didn't run mdadm.postinst with DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND=1 because I wanted to leave things in the broken state, but I can do it again if that'll help. The file is here (86M): http://jim.sh/~jim/tmp/target.tar.gz Let me know if there's anything else I should try. -jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
