Stefan, You were right -- tried again and exit from busybox after 'drmaid -ay' successfully completed the boot.
As far as the raid setup, essentially that's the end result of throwing in the 11.10 alternative cd in the machine the day it arrived with windows installed and following the prompts. So, not sure what to do next. I had a look in /dev/log/boot.log, and there really doesn't appear to be anything that looks like it's going to be useful. If this is just a case of 'you shouldn't have done it that way', then I'm happy for you to just mark it 'won't fix' or 'invalid' -- on the other hand, if this is something that others will hit, I'm happy to continue working with you to find the cause and get a fix made. I've attached my syslog, maybe there's something useful in there. ** Attachment added: "syslog.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/948291/+attachment/2833446/+files/syslog.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948291 Title: New 12.04 beta Kernel doesn't support booting from dmraid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/948291/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
