[1] Please notice that lenny is an unsupported release within Debian nowadays. grml-debootstrap can handle the release but you really should not use lenny -anymore unless you really know what you are doing. Choose Debian 6.0 (squeeze) -or Debian 7.0 (wheezy) instead.

+anymore unless you really know what you are doing. Choose Debian 7.0 (wheezy) or +something newer instead.

Notice that you need to specify a mirror providing the lenny release, the default (http://http.debian.net/debian) doesn’t provide it any longer nowadays. Set the mirror to e.g. http://archive.debian.org/debian/ if you don’t have your own lenny mirror.

Also when debootstrapping lenny on a live system with a kernel version +like "3.16-1-grml-amd64" lenny’s libc will fail to install with:

+
+
+
[...]
+/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 265: [: 3.16-1-grml-amd64: integery expression expected

+dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.7-18lenny7_amd64.deb (--install):
+[....]
+
+

To workaround this either debootstrap from a system with an according +kernel version or use the "fake uname" workaround (just google for it).

When installing lenny to a new mdraid, grml-debootstrap will use md metadata format version 0.90. This limits the device to a maximum size of 2TB, but has the advantage of grub-legacy actually being able to boot from it.
