Public bug reported: The existing setup is:
Quad G5, two SATA disks, various partitions (/boot etc...) directly there, one big MD partition on each drive. Togegher, those form a RAID0. That RAID0 is then setup as an LVM PV into with 4 logical volumes (including root, /home, etc..) I busted the gutsy install there (bad manipulation on my part) so I'm trying to install Hardy using an alternate iso snapshot as of yesterday (Mars 22, 2008). When I do "configure RAID", then just "Finish", it detects the MD properly and shows it's LVM PV. When I do "configure LVM", it discovers all the LVs, I can then go back and see all my logical volumes in the list. I set their filesystem and mount points, so far so good, then I do "finish partitionning", at which points things go bonkers: - First it says it will have to write the RAID 0 partition map to disk (despite the fact that I didn't change a thing to do). - Then it complains that the kernel ioctl failed (invalid argument iirc) and I'll have to reboot. I choose "continue" as the partition map hasn't changed, so it should all be fine. - Nothing happens. The installer screen is empty and nothing happens Now if I try to go to the other VT to get some logs etc... I get nothing there, just black screen on a black background. The cusor blinks fine and move, but it looks like somewhat the installer is setting the text color of the other console as black on black ! It -seems- that it works the very first time I switch VT and only gets in that black/black state on subsequent switches, thus I will try to use that to see if I can get some logs though it might be useful to guide me (that is tell me where to look for useful info). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [hardy] installer failure with existing RAID+LVM setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205384 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
