Public bug reported:
8.04 hardy beta, i386 (as well as gutsy)
I am expecting my system to boot using raidtools (I tried server and alternate
install: same problem)
/dev/md0: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 (swap)
/dev/md1: /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb2 (Gutsy)
/dev/md2: /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3 (Hardy)
After the installation, the 1st boot is OK.
The second boot switch to busybox. Using recovery boot (2nd line in Grub menu),
boot OK.
Then boot back 1st line: fails and switch to busybox.
I SOLVED THE PROBLEM !!!
Grub-install is faulty during the install
Boot recovery, then:
#grub
grub> device (hd0) /dev/sda
grub> root (hd0,2)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> device (hd1) /dev/sdb
grub> root (hd1,2)
grub> setup (hd1)
Then system boot works like a charm !!!
But, for Hardy, after beta installation (20080327), after installing all
the updates, the problem appears again, and was solved using the same
solution.
I really think grub-install on raid device (using raidtools, not LVM) is faulty.
At least one package upgrade applies the same issue !
The system is up and running, I can send to you all the logs needed
