[Xen-users] No bootloader with D-I in domU on part. RAID1

[Markus Kiefer <markus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I just tried (as my first attempt in xenning) to set up a lenny amd64 
domU on a partitionable Mirror RAID (/dev/md_d0p1 - /dev/md_d0p4), using 
the Debian installer from "people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/". 
The partitions of the md will be represented inside the domU as 
/dev/xvda1-4 accordingly.
The dom0 seems to run fine, it's Xen 3.2.1 on amd64 lenny.

The d-i runs smoothly until it gets to the installation of the 
bootloader. There I get the red screen with "Installation step failed". 
There isn't as much as a grub directory written on the /boot partition.
Not very surprising, the guest OS won't boot after finishing the 
installation anyway. I tried to install grub manually from outside the 
domU, but that also doesn't seem to get me anywhere.
Did I instinctively pick the one disk setup Xen (or grub) won't work with?

Best regards,
Markus
