You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release?

Status in “debian-installer” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: debian-installer Installation using the i386 alternate CD 8.04 Beta fails. I have seen this reported for alpha versions of Hardy Heron, but not the beta version. Dell Precision 390n, 2 x 80GB WD hard drives, SATA as IDE in BIOS. sda1 + sdb1, 76GB md0 -- sda5 + sdb5, 4GB md1 I chose reiserfs mounted at "/" as the file system after creating the Linux raid setup. / = md0, swap = md1 By forcing the install through to the end & rebooting, the machine boots to a grub prompt. There is no /boot/grub folder or any configuration files installed/created. Trying to find grub configuration files from the grub prompt leads to error 15. I was unable to get past this roadblock using the alternative CD. I ended up installing HH on one drive & then creating the RAID1 array afterwards using: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/raid/raid1-degraded-etch.html as a template for the install - worked perfectly for those that need a resolution now. -- Grub installation fails when using Software RAID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
