Public bug reported:
I am pretty new to this and doing what I can.
This seemed to me to affect at least Hardy & Intrepid (all I've installed)
Live CD's
Quite a bit of trouble and confusion caused, I believe, by a hard drive
adapter being seen during
installation from downloaded Live CD's, then not seen during the regular boot
process. Partitions
are seen and created by the Live partitioner on the drives, which sees in my
case, the drives as
the first two. Thus, I have installed and there exists an installation of
Ubuntu Intrepid which cannot
be booted as far as I know. The file systems are ext3.
I do not know what Ubquity is, however, it crashed when the installer
*should* have said "You may continue the live cd but no changes will be
made". This happened more than once, and I tried the Hardy cd as well
as three releases of the Intrepid, alpha 4.
My existing Intrepid requires 'last-good-boot' each time to boot. All boot
options point to the same UUID. I wind up
when booting from other options at a BusyBox or Initramfs prompt, where I have
looked a lot, but have no idea what to
do or how to save what I see. I do see that the UUID's are NOT listed for
those drives in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ while others are listed. Also, it should be
/dev/sdb2 as root, and that and others are shown under /dev/sd* but I am then
told upon attempt to mount that they do not exist.
The partitions are seen after a boot using last-good-boot, as well as in
Windows Vista, which calls it 'SoftRaid5' and I know it requires Java.
I am NOT using the RAID function, only controller.
I can try to give any needed info if I know what and how. My 'quick fix' would
simply be to not show these under
the installation. It must require a driver or Java... not provided at this
stage of boot, but yes during install. Bad
combo. I would like to know how to be able to boot without going through
several manual steps, if possible.
Thanks for your work
