In this case there is very little I can do. I have done multiple
squeeze installs with RAID, and upgrades, and I have not seen this
problem. Unless you can reproduce this bug, I cannot do anything but
keep this report open.

i've just reproduced such a failing install inside a KVM.
see (combined) screenshot attached from first boot.

i've snapshotted the VM at different stages and can provide you with one that just boots for the first time (snapshot3, see screenshot).
tell me if you're interrested in investigating it.


here's a log of what i did:

booted http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-6.0.2-amd64-rescue.iso (sha1=0e5d9409719e657de4cbd9f355545cdc4c869038)
expert text install
selected some udebs (parted, reiserfs, squash, virtio)
hostname = file.lan
partition
  manual
    for all 4 disks:
      GPT
      p1: 6MB   BIOS BOOT
      p2: 250MB RAID1 BOOT
      p3: 768MB SWAP
      p4: 3.3GB RAID6 VG/PV
    configure sw raid:
      md0: RAID1 /dev/sd[a-d]2: /boot (ext2)
      md1: RAID6 /dev/sd[a-d]4: LVM PV (VG=vg-sys)
    configure LVM:
      LV system: /dev/md1 (4GB) / (reiserfs)
