Package: mdadm-udeb Version: 3.2.5-3 I am trying to install Debian Wheezy RC1 (x86_64 architecture) on a desktop PC that has a fake RAID1 disks (2 disks, each 1 TB) and it failed to detect the disks. I am using email to report this bug and don't know for sure which package to report it against, so I am starting with mdadm that is in the installer itself. The PC itself has quad-core Intel Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz CPU (if that matters).
When I arrive at the "Detect disks" stage, the installer reported back saying that there was no disk detected. This is not correct, since I can see the disks in /proc/partition. Moreover, the syslog shows that the raid was actually detected: Mar 27 17:56:39 md-devices: mdadm: Container /dev/md/imsm0 has been assembled with 2 drives Mar 27 17:56:39 kernel: [ 559.191806] md: md127 stopped.
