-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 i am really leaning towards a bug with ubuntu.
after changing the BIOS back to IDE mode and thus detecting the disks, i booted up a livecd and proceeded to simply delete the partitions on the disks with gparted. then, rebooted and changed the BIOS back to AHCI. the disks are magically detected again. so, i go and install ubuntu-server again on a third, identical server. upon rebooting, the disks are no longer detected. the BIOS just gets stuck at 'auto-detecting SATA PORT0' i noticed something interesting in the installation, during the partitioning. both disks initially showed up as 'free space' but, as soon as i carved out the partitions like i did last time, they magically showed up as raid/lvm paritions. so, something was still on the disks. maybe i need to use dd to write zeroes to the entire surface of both disks? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkwMJF0ACgkQXhfCJNu98qC0LwCfdtzOB509AX3jKtyJYUpwYPR/ 3YIAoIuaonNbBUOcOapnCDJ1MeNJCpVy =BRx7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
