[Bug 465231] Re: Karmic: legacy grub-install fails, possibly due to missing /target/etc/mtab
I can confirm this bug, and I can confirm that Daniel's work around is valid. I'd also like to note that the only part of the /target/etc/mtab that is needed is the line contain the root file system, or the line containing the /boot file system (if applicable). In my case I was using the 9.10 server install cd on a amd64 virtual kvm instance. This is always reproducible when using expert mode, and install legacy grub, and having 2 partitions (sda1 - swap, sda2 - root). File systems and valid partitioning schemes seem irrelevant, however I can't say I have tested all possible cases. ~Mike -- Karmic: legacy grub-install fails, possibly due to missing /target/etc/mtab https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 569900] Re: mount: mounting /dev/md0 on /root/ failed: Invalid argument
Wow, I thought I was going crazy until I saw this bug. Here is my setup: Two identical 500G Seagate drives. I sliced each of them up into 3 partitions using the alternative installer. sda1, sdb2 - 1G - raid1 as md0 for boot sda2, sdb2 - 5G - swap sda3, sdb3 - remaining space as prompted - raid1 as md1 for LVM The install appears to go fine, in fact, I didn't really notice there was a problem until I examined my boot logs and found that my swap on sdb2 wasn't found. When inspecting the drives I found that I had sda1,2,3, but there were no partitions on sdb. Instead, I have md1p1,p2,p3. I'm surprised the system was even working. I experimented with a few different configurations and got similar results. -- mount: mounting /dev/md0 on /root/ failed: Invalid argument https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was able to get raid1 working directly from the install by following the advice in this thread. Specifically, I manually paritioned my drives with fdisk, and did not have any raid partition fill up the entire disk. -- mount: mounting /dev/md0 on /root/ failed: Invalid argument https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
