[Bug 436340] Re: Installer fails: grub fails on Intel ICH10 raid

2015-11-26 Thread Dimitri John Ledkov
I'm working to remove grub1 from the seeds, and I'm now wondering if
this is still the case. I.e. if we can drop grub1, and only have grub2
for e.g. fakeraid installs et.al. Wouldn't this support be visible in
like installer changes too?

The solution in Ubuntu 9.10 is: *don't install grub2*. Continue to use
GRUB Legacy if you're using SATA RAID devices, since it's the only
version that will work in 9.10.

This bug was filed because the installer wasn't automatically selecting
GRUB Legacy on these devices. That bug is now fixed.

I used the 9.10 Alt CD on my machine with ICH10 Raid 1 (Mirrored).

Installed Ubuntu to another drive. (the RAID array is just file storage)

Upon installing, it asked if I wanted to use the RAID hardware...I said
yes.

after installing, Ubuntu still sees these as separate drives.

Worked fine with 8.04. Odd

2009-10-20 Thread Paul Taylor
I struck the same problem with the 19 October daily build of karmic-
alternate-amd64.iso (I didn't try the livecd.)

During the installation, grub2 (grub-pc) was installed - not grub - and
failed to detect the dmraid devices as above.

Booting into rescue mode.  Was asked if I wanted to initialise the SATA
raid devices (yes), but received the error The installer could not find
any partitions; it found the existing partitions during the
installation process.  Opened a shell; dmraid and /dev/mapper were
configured correctly.  Set up the chroot environment, removed grub-pc
and installed grub.

I eventually got grub to install correctly, but running update-grub
created the menu.lst file with an extra comma on each of the root device
definitions e.g. (hd0,2,).  Script bug?  (I tried to report it via
ubuntu-bug, but it fails with it's own bug!)

Thanks for the reply Felix,

it doesn't help me but at least I understand some of the reasoning
behind this.  I guess karmic gets a thumbs down from me based on this
regression alone.  At lot of people installing Karmic for the first
time, are going to get the hump when there install fails at the last
hurdle.  I wonder if the possibility of using grub1 can be included in
the installer.

For dmraids always GRUB Legacy was forced inside grub-installer and this
hasn't change even since Debian switched to GRUB 2 by default too.
But it seems that at least in Ubuntu this has become broken.
I don't know for Debian.
Comment #3 in this report looks like GRUB Legacy has been excluded from
the CD.

2009-10-13 Thread Ian Hutchinson
I did a virtual machine in VirtualBox that had 2 hard drives, and I
tried an installlation using the linux software RAID provided by the
mdadm package, and will a bit of extra legwork, it managed to boot the
RAID0 system using grub2.

I dunno if the kinda setup you guys and girls have needs to keep to the
Intel ICH10 raid, but for me, I'm not too fussed and this is a do-able
solution. On the real computer, it just means backing up everything,
removing the Intel BIOS raid, and setting it up in Ubuntu as a mdadm
software RAID..

Any thoughts?

Not an good idea for me I have a reasonably high end Windows Vista
install on another partition I use the raid for.  This is something that
need fixing pre-release, most ASUS high end gamer boards have this kind
Raid and I believe most of the Biostar and ECM boards.

What I really need to see is someone from the grub2 team to triage this
bug but with 137 and counting open bugs against grub2 and 2 weeks to
release I am quite worried.

I know the problem since a few months and even sent a first patch in
June for my nvidia dmraid devices to upstream.

But the problem is that the internal design used by grub-probe to map
Linux devices to GRUB devices doestn't work with any non real harddisk
devices like dmraid and multipath.
For LVM/mdraid we don't need to do this as we have native support for
them.

That discussion is here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-08/msg00065.html
For me this is just not a high priority.

Still fails on Oct 13th cd image.

Happy to test further if a patch gets committed.  From RedBass' comment
#8 above it sounds like the only workaround so far is to install 9.04
and then perform an upgrade.

*sigh* this bug is a huge bummer since it permanently prevents anyone
from installing Karmic who has a stock desktop PC running RAID1 (as mine
was set when received from the factory).  I say permanently because no
post-release fixes will make it onto the install CD.  Erasing the hard
drive and removing RAID isn't an option; that would require removing
Windows, programs, and user data from the other side.  A tough pill to
swallow!

(Edited initial post for clarity).

Note also that I only tried steps 4 and 5 above because I thought maybe
the ext4 had something to do with it.  I'll try the same install using
ext3 and see if it makes a difference -- the filesystem type is likely a
red herring but I want to be sure.

  3) Installer goes thru entire installation, but fails on grub step with 
following error:

  4) I tried opening a terminal as su, and ran
grub-install --root-directory=target /dev/mapper/isw_bfdafeice_ARRAY

  and it fails with, You attempted a cross-disk install, but the filesystem
