Hi, I've done several attempts to install Wheezy (can't use Jessie as I want to eventually copy a working config over from another server) on an OVH dedicated server. It contains 2 x 2TB disks. I boot into the rescue mode, partition the disks, set-up raid and lvm, and then use debootstrap to install the base system. The system afterwards fails to boot. The partitioning scheme I made with gdisk (GPT):
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 51200 24.0 MiB EF02 BIOS boot partition 2 53248 512000 224.0 MiB FD00 Linux RAID 3 514048 3907029134 1.8 TiB FD00 Linux RAID Partition 2 is for /boot on /dev/md0 using /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2. Filesystem is ext2. Partition 3 is for all the rest, using LVM on /dev/md1 (/dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3). The raid devices work, lvm works, everything seems fine, except when rebooting after the complete install. I can then boot into rescue mode but I have no clues as to what went wrong (probably grub?) nor can I consult a log file. I don't seem to have a console to view the boot process. I can only use ssh to login to my server or rescue mode. If I try this exact same setup method locally in Virtual box (same install method with debootstrap), it boots without problems. I moved / boot to it's own raid (not on lvm) because I first thought that was the problem. I've tried specifying metadata=0.90 for the raid, and I have tried to change the grub settings: GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true Nothing works and I have no clue why. I know it's a long shot, but any ideas as to what might be wrong? Or is there another way I could install with using raid for this server?
