> The fakeraid bios handles requests for bios disk 80h correctly But what is on hd(1) then? Exactly the same raid device, but appearing twice? I guess this is what has been confusing me into thinking grub sees the raw disks.
> Also could you be more specific about it failing? This was some time ago, and I would have to try again. I thought I had tried that mapping as well (since I mention it in comment #1). But looking at the update-grub script: it tries to convert the root (or boot) device to a grub root device. I think it failed converting my /dev/mapper/my_raid3 to (hd0,2) and instead returned (hd0,0) (the default, failover). Maybe the more lucky ones among us have their boot partition on (hd0,0) and then they won't experience this bug. Anyway, for sure, running the installer CD things did not work, because it didn't know how to handle having root on /dev/mapper/my_raid3. -- grub should support dmraid fakeraids https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
