--- Comment #6 from Occo Eric Nolf <oen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>  2007-10-20 08:22:51 MST

Right, here is what happened ...

- performed a fresh internet install, formatting existing partitions for /,
/boot, and swap, and specifying mount points for the existing partition for
/home and for 3 partitions used by XP

- installation failed like before, due to failure to write initrd

- using vim, edited file /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-storage.sh changing

local retval=$(cat /proc/partitions | egrep "^[ ]*$major[ ]*$minor")

to

local retval=$(cat /proc/partitions | egrep "^[ ]*$major[ ]*$minor ")

- ran mkinitrd, resulting in familiar messages:

Bootloader::Library::SetLoaderType: Initialization for unknown bootloader

Bootloader::Core::ListFiles: Running generic function, it should never be
called

Bootloader::Core::ParseLines: Running generic function, it should never be
called

- didn't manage to resume the installation, re-booted system

- didn't get anywhere using GRUB, got the installed system to boot using an
installation DVD

- got error messages all over the place: all partitions, except /, invalid
because of missing superblocks

- got kdm started in 10.3 and had a look at the partitioner: it didn't show any
of the existing partitions except /

- re-installed 10.2 using an installation DVD, the partitioner had no problem
loading the correct partition table and all existing partitions!

----------------

Unless I did something wrong, the patch for #334461 is not the solution for
this bug.
There seems to be a fundamental problem with RAID0+1 in version 10.3 ... the
fact that the partitioners of 10.2 and 10.3 come up with completely different
partition tables seems to confirm this.
