Public bug reported: Ubuntu server 6.06.1, i386. Ubuntu server i386 install CD.
I corrupted MBR (grub) on my Ubuntu system that was installed with root partition at software raid (RAID1, mirror). This was my mistake, I played with SBM (Smart Boot Manager). I tried to recover Ubuntu "server" with install CD, I selected RECOVER mode during boot from CD. Several screens later I found that I cannot mount root partition (it was RAID1 type). I think that RECOVER CD cannot handle software raid configurations. Recover CD reported something like it cannot mount unknown partition. I created grub floppy on other system and booted from floppy and I saved my system. It means that root partition was not corrupted... Maybe it was possible to use grub from recover CD but I was not familiar with grub few hours ago... ;-) ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Recovery CD cannot mount sotware raid root (RAID1) https://launchpad.net/bugs/77610 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
