As a workaround I did the following (I hope I remember correctly): * Started a shell from the installer after the boot loader install failed. * did a: #chroot /target * Manually installed grub from the install cd with dpkg -i /<complete path to the grub deb package> * Created the grub directory in /boot/ * Created there a device.map: #echo "(hd0) /dev/md0" > device.map * Did a update-grub to get a menu.lst in boot/grub/ * Ran grub and manually installed grub to both HDD's: root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) root (hd1,0) setup (hd1) * After that I exited from the chroot and the shell * Continued with the installer * Reboot worked After rebooting the networkcard wasn't recognized, so I had to install e1000 per hand. I had to do a little fine tuning to locales and install reiserfsprogs (which somehow didn't get installed), but besides that everything worked pretty well. After installing discover the networkcard is now recognized automatically. I hope this helps. Regards, Claus Grill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
