Ok .... here is another update .... We tested another machine. Intel GT mainboard with Q9400 CPU and 4GB Kingston RAM and 2 x 500GB Seagate Drives
Each drives has: 1) 2GB Raid 2) 498GB Raid (remaining space) md0 (2 x 2GB Raid) formated as /etx4 /boot md1 (2x 490GB Raid) formated as LVM LVM has - 4GB formated as swap 486GB formated as ext4 as / The installation went fine, but when booting i was informed that md0 was running in degraded mode (only 1 drive) and that the root partion could not be found. Then i was dropped into the initramfs shell. We used the Live CD to check the raid configuration, everything was 100%, md0 had both drives and had sync'ed and md1 had both drives and continued to re- sync. We could mount the drives and everything was as it should be. We the reinstalled the machine. During the installation we removed the existing partition and re-partioned them as below: Each drives has: 1) 2GB Raid 2) 495GB Raid 3) 3GB Free Space (approx) md0 (2 x 2GB Raid) formated as /etx4 /boot md1 (2x 490GB Raid) formated as LVM LVM has - 4GB formated as swap 486GB formated as ext4 as / The machine booted into Ubuntu first time. I have no idea why i cant use the full drive. We have tested the same with Ubuntu x64 8.04, 8.10 - it is working 100% It is not working with Ubuntu x64 9.10, 10.04RC or 10.04 Just happy to have the machines working, i am sure i wont miss 3GB -- mount: mounting /dev/md0 on /root/ failed: Invalid argument https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
