Public bug reported: UBUNTU 10.04 setup/livecd problem my problem is that i have two identical sata drives connected to the computer and instead of seperate drives - linux tends to see it as a raid of double the size. i started reporting it in the SUSE thing but i didnt quite like one thing in suse so i am looking around. i can seperate the drives in SUSE setup (but wasnt the first option), in your setup i cannot at all - so if i want to keep my data, i cannot install ubuntu direct to the drive.this bug is not as bad in SUSE so my other linux problems may be worse with ubuntu,
(video cards) like in SUSE, two graphics cards (NV and ATI) wasnt auto setuped (and i need to do code to set them up - no GUI help whatsoever) the SUSE people have zero interest in fixing this which is odd due to the fact that GUI sells (um gives away) and CLI doesnt and multimonitrs are getting increasingly popular, i even used three screens(three cards) in win98. (other hdd setup option) i tried putting files in the windows patitions and encounterd an error (it couldnt mount stuff) and asked me to do chkdsk/r - that partition has bad sectors under one DVD image so it faills. so i dont know if its a patition problem or a linux problem, and if i cannot get the cards to work well then i dont want to waste effort getting the drive or another drive working.. here is the report for suse 11.3 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653081 also see the related bugs as they could be other future problems you could have if you fix it, and i see one - it should have been able to mount the partitions it does see in the so called 2x200Gb drive.. in one of the linked bugs i wrote [ i didnt see the problem in ubuntu ] this is incorrect and i cannot modify the post, it was a earlier version - a SUSE liveCD, 11.2 (hmm wonder if earlier versions of ubuntu liveCDs would work) Charlie. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: raid sata -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694934 Title: two independant sata drives seen as raid -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
