No, it's definitely /dev/md/0p1. It's a straight forward level 1 RAID array created from 2 partitions on the sda and sdb devices using the installer. I actually created 6 arrays from partitions on sda an sdb and had the same problem for each of them. I used mknod to create the necessary device files to allow the installer to complete like so: mknod /dev/md/0p1 b 9 0 mknod /dev/md/1p1 b 9 1 ... Then I could proceed to allow the installer to format the partitions and carry out the first stage install. I agree that it doesn't make any sense. > Could you give some more information on your system? Please send a full > installation report [1] to this bug ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I'll do that separately. > Could you also give some basic info on what EMD is and how it is setup? I've no idea as I've never used it.
