Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dmraid
The machine came from Alienware with a RAID0 SSD partition formated with
NTFS for Vista. I would like to dual boot Kubuntu 9.04.
1. I first tried booting from the alternate CD. The installer detected the
RAID0 volume as 2 separate disks.
2. I then tried directly installing from the live CD. Same result.
3. I canceled the install from the live CD to boot to the Kubuntu desktop.
4. I launched a konsole window and typed:
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ls -la /dev/mapper
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2009-03-21 16:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4500 2009-03-21 16:10 ..
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 61 2009-03-21 11:27 control
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install dmraid
I believe this message appeard in /var/log/syslog at this point
Mar 21 16:10:46 ubuntu dmraid-activate: ERROR: Cannot retrieve RAID set
information for isw_bdhiijife_Volume0
but may have appeared at a later point (see below)
ubu...@ubuntu:~$ ls -la /dev/mapper

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 252, 4 2009-03-21 16:10 isw_bdhiijife_Volume04
****If I install gparted at this point I am able to detect the RAID0
volume and add an ext4 and swap partition****
5. However when I then ran the ubiquity installer as I switch to the
partition manager page....
Ubiquity posed a "Partman Crashed" dialog with this message:
Partman failed with exit code 141. Further information may be found in
/var/log/syslog.
Do you want to try running this step again before continuing?
If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken.
and looking again at /var/log/syslog:
