Eventually, after other tries, I got this ("better") error: mkinitrd: unkown DM device xx:xx (these where actual minor major numbers). it seems it can't find something to cope with /dev/mapper/sil... So I changed the beginning of the script to: echo $1 $2 exit 0 and noticed it would create the file /boot/initrd.img....new I used the gentoo initrd (with dmraid) and copied where appropriate, also copied the modified mkinitrd on a floppy and copied it back on /usr/sbin "on the fly" just after kernel image installation..... Installation of the base system then went on ok and concluded (initrd renamed initrd.img.....new to initrd.img-2... and complained about grub, but this was OK for the installer). In the end I have a working system, BUT I can't login with a normal user account and X server... "/dev/null" permission denied, then chmod +666 /dev/null and still other errors... I'll now try as you suggested: chroot into debian partiton and installation from there.
