Hi,
I've got a project I've been working on in fits and starts that I'd
like to use d-i for. I'm working on a utility system that allows
restore/rescue/repair/modification of a linux system (the restore is to
be a local or networked restore of systems backed up using amanda) and
the backup/imagin

Using the daily netinst CD image for i386 from 20080410-1, there is an error
with manual partitioning. If one partition a separate /boot partitions, then
does RAID it's okay, but if LVM is put on top of that RAID, after

I realized I mistated the situation in my first report. /boot is on a
RAID1 device created at the same time as the RAID1 device for the LVM
volume group. When LVM is activated, partman loses
the fact that a device is associated with /boot.

Hi,
I filed an installation-report, but I thought I send this here since it
won't necessarily be seen for a while. I used the 20080412-2 netinst
daily image (because of problems with the last successful build which
was 20080416-2 when I installed yesterday or the day before) and had to

partman/early_command doesn't work as described in the manual. The command is
never executed (no log entry for even trying), and when I 'grep'ed for
partman/early_command on the install media there were no hits. It looks like
it is missing.
