Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
so the problem is:
I have HP310 G5 (sata software raid in bios turned off)
im trying install ubuntu on softraid (mdadm) and as result I have 2 critical bugs (regressions since 8.04)
i did dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=10M on both SATA disks before installation
my layout is simple, its /boot ext2 , / ext4 (lvm2), swap (lvm2)
and disk has parted to (both sata disks)
300M (for /boot) [raid0]
400G (lvm2 VolumeGroup1)
1. after boot, i have lost my /boot, im expecting to get /dev/md0 but have /dev/md1p1 instead ?!?! with BROKEN raid for /boot. /dev/md1 with lvm2 works ok
2. in system log too many messages about incorrect partitions sizes and overlaps etc. this looks like installer make incorrect partitioning. when partitioning its produce sizes of partitions smaller ~1M and leave free space over md volumes, in 8.04 all ok here
NB: installation same way with 8.04 on same hardware step by step = 100% success, no problems

3. after install I unable to boot due to some plymouth or some other crap problems, cant detect why, but boot freezes.
Im ready to write simple video movie about this problem.
