** Description changed: Binary package hint: ubiquity I have now tried this twice, in case I'd bungled the selection the first time around and because I'd know to collect details, the second time. (Note, although my Ubuntu installation booted the first time, it did not seem to be recognising that the discs were fake RAID. It showed sda and - sdb and nothing in mapper. After I've submitted this report, I will - reboot and report what's happened this time.) + sdb and nothing in mapper. With this second installation, Ubuntu seems + to be running from the RAID correctly - "/dev/mapper/isw_gcjjjacje_MC- + PC001_RAID5 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1". + "/dev/mapper/isw_gcjjjacje_MC-PC001_RAID6 none swap sw + 0 0": in fstab. Difference in my second installation was that I + checked the box to download updates.) The fake RAID is provided by Intel ICH9R. Just to prove I chose the root of my Linux partition for GRUB installation, I took a screen shot. (This is dated Thu 10 Mar 2011 05:29:57 PM GMT.) I also have a screen shot of the wizard reporting 'Running "grub-install /dev/mapper/isw_gcjjjacje_MC-PC001_RAID"', but this information is in the log and indicates what was done, rather than what was requested. This report is being submitted from within the Live CD environment, following Ubiquity's completion of the installation routine. I saved the RAID MBR and the Linux partition (5) boot sector immediately after Ubiquity finished. The MBR is clearly for GRUB (having been Windows 7 at the start) and the partition's "boot sector" is all zero. Thank you for reading, and doubly for working on this issue. ============================== ubuntu@ubuntu:/tmp$ apt-cache policy ubiquity ubiquity: - Installed: 2.4.8 - Candidate: 2.4.8 - Version table: - *** 2.4.8 0 - 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 2.4.8 + Candidate: 2.4.8 + Version table: + *** 2.4.8 0 + 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: ubiquity 2.4.8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-generic 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Mar 10 18:03:37 2011 ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: ubiquity
