[Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid
Aeudian: I have the exact same issue that you did. However I am struggling to get fdisk to work. Whenever i try to list with fdisk -l, nothing shows up. If I try to list with fdisk -l /dev/mapper/(raid1array) it says it cannot open it. Can you shed some light on the specifics of using fdisk for this scenario? I have tried using gparted, manually setting up partitions in the installer itself, no luck. Thanks! ps: I completely agree with David Tomlin. -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 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 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid
Yeah the install happens and everything... but when I reboot I just get a blinking cursor like something is happening but it just stays there. Yes I made sure that I installed the boot loader on partition 1 of the RAID array on step 8. Right now I am trying different approaches with what you have already listed above Aeudian in different orders and little variables. If I have any luck I will report back. I did find that the latest copy of Gparted LIVE off gparted.org detects my array without a hiccup. So that is a tool that I might use later. But right now Im sticking to fdisk and mkfs methods within the 10.04 live environment to exhaust that first. Im using an ICH5R, on an ASUS p4p800 board, (yea its pretty old I know). -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 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

Jerico could you list methods you used for making softwareraid here? Im assuming you used mdadm? Could you elaborate for us?

Synguin, That is only the array, yes. Did you install the OS on the array originally and not one of the drives separately? (Im assuming you did since it detects the array when you do ls -l /dev/mapper. I just slapped a mint 9 cd in my ubuntu 10.04 box just for kicks and it lists the array + partitions just fine. That's pretty weird that you rebooted into the livecd and there is nothing there after doing a full install... !

Ok so in that blue package configuration window regarding grub, I had the same error that grub failed to install. I also do not have a # on the end of the named volume which was setup in the raid-bios.

[Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid
When I was in the package config for grub that goes along with apt-get upgrade, It listed /dev/sda and /dev/sdb as well as the volume. I chose the Volume to install grub to. As I stated before it failed. I went through with the installation and on step 8 I went to specify where to install grub again. This time it lists /dev/sda, the Volume and Volume/partition1. When I choose Volume/parition1 I can't click "OK". My only options are /dev/sda or Volume. I chose Volume and had no luck. Can't boot. I threw a gparted livecd in and found that the partitions are labeled Volumep1 and Volume p2 (might have been p5, can't remember but you get the idea) by the live installer. -- Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/568050 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
Re: [Bug 568050] Re: Ubuntu 10.04 can't create partition on fakeraid
Herbert is there a separate BIOS for the raid controller? That is where I am able to change the volume name. However for me this didn't help. On May 18, 2010 8:21 AM, "Herbert Roitblat" wrote: Another piece of what I hope is useful information: I tried loading version 9.10 on the system as a single boot. Everything seemed to work until it came time to install either GRUB or LILO. Both failed. My volume name ends with 0 (/dev/mapper/isw_bifgdfbbc_Volume0). I went into the BIOS to see if I could change that, but there is no entry on my Dell Studio XPS 8100 to give or change the drive a name. I don't know where that name comes from.
