Public bug reported: I have a Gigabyte GA-7DXR motherboard with an onboard RAID controller: Promise 20265. It's running in unraided mode right now with two drives hung off of one IDE port. In all installations of ubuntu on this hardware prior to Karmic, the partitioning has not been an issue. All installation methods attempted (below) have failed to properly recognize the partitions on these drives. These drives are recognized after a full install back to Jaunty. All failed attempts recognize the drive and the partitioning, but report the partitions are hopelessly and irrecoverably corrupt.
I attempted these methods of drive use/identification/recovery and had no success: * In-place upgrade (via update-manager) from Jaunty to Karmic (post-release) * Post-beta yet pre-release karmic live cd (install x1) * Post-release karmic live cd (install x2) * gparted via post-release kamric live cd A gparted live-cd (not ubuntu) [0.4.5-2 burned 31-Jul-2009] and all previous versions of Ubuntu have no issues with the drives. Possibly related/helpful URL: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=1302 I suspect this is a linux kernel bug, but would be willing to have the bug migrated to a more appropriate package. This is preventing me from upgrading to Karmic ... and future releases? Thanks for your time and attention!
