BTW did you mean that I adjust the selection in the install screens? Well, that option is not available in ubiquity either. I could choose to set root to nvidia_bfcdciea3 w.o. problems but the swap partitions didn't follow the partition type setting. Swap partitions are shown correctly in

Since the proper device (nvidia_bfcdciea) shows up in /dev/mapper it seems that dmraid is working fine. If it isn't shown as a choice in the installer, then it looks like a bug in Ubiquity, so I'm reassigning the package. ** Package changed: dmraid (Ubuntu) = ubiquity (Ubuntu) ** Changed in:

I can't tell from the screen shot if you could scroll down in the disk selection in the installer. See if you can scroll down and see just the nvidia_bfcdciea or nvidia_bfcdciea[1234] disks. Those are what you want to use, not the ones with -0 or -1 in them. I think this boils down to Ubiquity

It's raid 0 + 1. I've 4 identical discs. There is stripe across the disks (raid 0) which is then mirrored (raid1). That's normal configuration for that old nvidia chip and called as raid 0+1 to my knowledge. As far I understand the -0 and -1 are the heads of those stripes. On 30.9.2010

I'm not sure why you came to that conclusion. If dmraid -ay said it found and activated an array, and then you were able to see it in the installer, then it DID activate the array. The question is, why didn't it to so automatically? You aren't booting with the nodmraid option are you? --

Yes, it would be good to know if it is only an upgrade issue or not. Also you should be able to check the package version by booting from a livecd and chrooting into the hard disk. My question is whether you got the version in 10.04 or 10.04.1. -- Upgrade fails from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS (beta)
