Over the weekend some process caused me to need to reboot the machine - which is a problem because the machine "doesn't have a valid boot signature" as of the last kernel update. This is the third time a failed semi-automatic kernel update has left the computer unusable (I typically accept kernel

The latest kernel update has failed. This time the message that I receive is "Fatal: First sector of /dev/sda1 doesn't have a valid boot signature". This does not appear to have anything to do with the RAID - mdstat shows all volumes are up: Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] m

So I added sdc1 back to the md0 array. This was enough to get me past the errors in the upgrade and everything checks out ok. I guess I'll really know when I next try to reboot. It is not clear to me why sdc1 was dropped from the array ... I will look for a log to see if I can find an explanatio

i think this has something to do with my RAID, for whatever reason. "cat /proc/mdstat" produces the following output, suggesting md0 is not fully functional. Personalities : [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md1 : active raid5 sdc2[0] sdb2[2] sdd2[1] 468856832 blocks level 5, 64k chunk,

With the last kernel update, I think I've encountered the problem again. My guess is that this machine will not be able to reboot so I hope to keep it running for long enough to provide any log files that might be related. To start with, I'm attaching a screenshot which shows the error message. *
