Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
Hardware is a Dell Precision 450 with two fresh 500Gb drives installed. Installing from the 10.04 LTS server install CD. * create two partitions on each disk, 4Gb at the end, and a single partition containing all the remaining space at the start - the latter marked bootable. All partitions tagged as RAID devices. * configure software RAID with md0 a RAID 1 using the two big partitions as ext4 on /, and md1 using the two 4Gb partitions as swap. * continue with the rest of the install as normal. At the end of the install the system fails to boot due to being unable to mount /root in the bootloader. There are a number of forums threads around this issue e.g.: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474950&highlight=raid1&page=3 Workaround suggested in the forum is to do the partitioning (in exactly the same way) using the 8.04.4 LTS server install CD and then running the 10.04 installer and simply reformatting the existing RAID device to ext4. I can confirm that this works for my system though you have to delete all the dodgy md devices from the original attempts within the 10.04 installer first or they confuse the 8.04.4 installer. ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 10.04 server installer partitioner fails to create bootable RAID 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612224 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
