Well, i have done an d-i install, created the devices by hand, chosen in expert mode unstable, which i suppose will pull in the above version, but haven't really found out a way to test it (please add the version to syslog when they get installed, this would be very helpful), and have to say that the problem still persists. I create two 1GB raid partitions, and try to create a RAID1 device, and find the "No RAID partitions available" dialog. When i go into parted, i notice that the raid flag has gone, replaced with a swap flag, which seems strange. Both of them used to be swap partitions prior to the test though. I set the raid flags back, go back to partman, who mentions me a dialog "please make sure you are happy with the partitions table and commit it" (paraphrased i forgot to copy, but you get the meaning), and the raid flags are gone again. To work around this, you have to go into parted, after the first partman-md dialog, and set the raid flags. The funny thing is that the raid flag is shown in the main partman manual partitioning dialog, so i suppose it is in the database, unless these flags are detected and not taken from the partman datas or something. Without this, i would have thought that partman had the non-raid stored in its data, and when doing the write to disk, did write the non-raid flag (well, erased the flag i guess). It would be really helpful if this could be reproduced on an x86 box, with a mac partition table (expert mode, chose pmac as partition table format for the disk). So, unless i made a mistake, i confirm that this bug is still present. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
