Machine: Supermicro PDSMi-based rackmount system Processor: Core2Duo Xeon 2.4GHz Memory: 4GiB Partitions: No partitions were created because didn't get that far Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: Ditto Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: Installer offers to create software RAID arrays from partitions marked as RAID members, but does not support raid10 which was a show-stopper for the installation of this server with 4 disks, intended to be almost entirely on raid10. Switching to a terminal and issuing lsmod I could see the raid0, 1 and 5 modules loaded but no raid10. raid10 module was also not present in the filesystem so I assume it is not supported. Of course it is not possible to boot from raid10, which is why I intended to create a small /boot in raid1, but I wanted everything else in raid10. In the end I booted from a livecd and installed by debootstrap. Obviously a bit of a fringe case, but "it would be nice". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
