[SLUG] Debian Sarge + software raid1 + lvm (how to get it working at install)

[Michael Fox <fox.michael@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've configure a debian sarge box with software raid1. I've then setup
LVM and created 3 lv's.

/
/boot
swap

Upon going on with install I get an error at the point of installing
the kernel. I've tried using 2.6 and 2.4 kernels at install/boot and
get same error.

Get red screen saying unable to install kernel image2.6 or 2.4 package
see console for errors.

Console reads;

Root is on a DM device, but dmsetup not installed
Failed to creat initrd image

Then failed package stuff..

Anyone got any idea how to get around this?

I am just experimenting with lvm and software raid1 at install time.
If I can get this working, I'd love to convert my server to boot from
a software raid1, plus use lvm.

Thanks
