Binary package hint: debian-installer

Two 750GB SATA disks joined into RAID1 array, which divided into 4 partitions:
1. pri NTFS WinXP (100G)
2. pri NTFS Userdata (240G)
3. pri efs4 / (55G)
4. log
5. ext swap (7.5G)
6. ext efs4 /home (295G)

I want to setup a dual-boot system. An installation process stops at GRUB. I can try to setup GRUB again and again, no luck. If I chose to continue without boot loader, I get the following message:

"No boot loader has been installed, either because you chose not to or because your specific architecture doesn't support a boot loader yet.
You will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partition /dev/mapper/isw_bdgibehedh_Raid13 and root=/dev/mapper/isw_bdgibehedh_Raid13 passed as a kernel argument."

In syslog I see that WinXP partition discovered successfully but the / one didn't:

I'll test if 9.04 has the issue too ASAP.
