Setting up Software Raid with the feisty herd1 installer fails. I tried setting it up from scratch, created partitions on each disk, started the software raid setup, set the 2 partitions as members in a raid1. After creating the md0 the installer complains that it does not work, but I can see the raid md0 got created and started correctly. Some thing when creating the raid disks with debian etch installer and trying to reuse them.
I've used the alternate-amd64 feisty herd1 ...
I cannot give you any logs at the moment, but if you cannot reproduce it please get back to me and I'll do the setup again to get the information you need.

Same with herd2. Create the arrays, installed grub on the 2 disks and tried to boot. Grub all goes okay, but then it doesn't detect the arrays properly and ubunut fails to boot. You get dropped in the busybox shell which is ran from the initrd image!
Now I have a boot partition without raid1 and this works, all other raid devices are detected, it is just the booting that fails.
This is with a 2-disk raid1 setup. My /etc/fstab: nosuid, noexec 0 0 errors= remount- ro 0 1 noauto, errors= remount- ro 0 1 usrquota, grpquota 0 2 usrquota, grpquota 0 2

/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 used to raid1 too...
