I've got the debian-31r0a-i386-netinst.iso image that I'm trying to
install this X336 IBM eSeries server. It all goes well enough until I
try to configure the RAID1 config using /dev/md.
My hardware configuration has two SATA drives that I want to run in a
RAID1 software config using an /dev/md. I get through the process of
configuring the RAID then all the partitions (I even check fdisk to make
sure they are there properly). But, /dev/md/0p1 and /dev/md/0p2 device
files never get created (even though that's what fdisk shows them to
be). So, the installer fails in attempting to format these partitions
(no device file(s) to mkfs). Is there any reason why these device files
can't be or aren't being created properly? Alternatively, how can I
create them manually (i.e., what major and minor numbers to feed to
mknod?) so I can get the installer to continue? I don't really care
about getting the problem 'fixed' through the release process. I just
want to get the OS installed. So, I'm comfortable bandaiding it by
creating the /dev/md/0pX files by hand.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
