update to my original comment, the part: i tried manual to maybe re use the partition, it had the label for my raid5 array but was listing the single 320gb hard drive.
Id like to revise and extend my remarks for the record. When trying yet another install, instead of let it create another partition i had tried to manually use one of the linux partitions it already made, but when it showed the single 320gb drive and then showed the name used for the different RAID array, i stopped and backed out then let it create another partition. I checked into this, the 320gb drive is connected to the JMicron RAID controller (only 2 SATA connectors) in the motherboard, as opposed to the Intel ch7? RAID controller that has 3 SATA connectors. the JMicron RAID is configured as a standard IDE/SATA with no name, the Intel RAID has a name for the "volume". At the time i wrote the original report i overlooked that the single drive was connected to a "RAID" controller, it says raid at bootup. However it should NOT have used the volume name for the 3 drive RAID, and thats the suspicious part. When the single drive boots it begins by the DOS boot selector screen, defaulting to windows with 0 seconds wait time, so you have to hit either arrow key up/down fast just before booting; then it goes to the Ubuntu boot menu that has the working installation at the top, recovery second, then about 10+ other ubuntu installations to choose from with nearly identical text, some say SDA... and a number. I have tried without success to "see" either of the other 2 disk volumes that were working. i connected the RAID5 drives and enabled them in bios, it gets the lame GRUB menu that does nothing; or the other single drive doesnt boot, it shows up in the bios setup but linux cannot see it. Still have a problem trying to figure out how to access those drives. the RAID5 is there and is installed but in the folder view its not showing up... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/896624 Title: kubuntu installer crashes at the end To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/896624/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
