New question #79235 on dmraid in ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmraid/+question/79235
For some time I have been using Linux as a developer ... not
installing/administering it - just using it. So not an expert at installations.
Last week I had my first Ububtu "practise" installing Ubuntu Server on and old
P133 ... went perfectly and got everything working as planned very painlessly.
Server / Desktop / Development environment ...
Today I am trying to do the "real" install on my server which has had FreeBSD
on for the last 3-4 years - I want to totally overwrite/replace it with Ubuntu
Server 9.04.
AMD 64 .... (but I am installing 32 for various reasons)
1 Gb RAM
2 x 80 Gb Seagate SCSI drives with RAID 1 ... controlled by a Promise FastTrak
S150 (TX2 plus)
I first tried CD with the "Server ISO" .. with no success ... then tried
burning the "Alternative 32 ISO" because it says it is for "people with RAID
drives" .... but I get the same problem.
Problem:
=======
Install gets as far as detecting disks ... "One or more drives containing SATA
RAID Configs have been found - do I wish to activate them? ... Yes or No"
If I say "No" .. it takes me to the partitioning options - Guided/Manual etc
... and then goes on to show me TWO drives:
- SCSI1
- SCSI2
If I say "Yes" (to activating)... it goes to "partition disks" and gives me TWO
options:
1) Undo Changes
2) Finish partitioning and write to disk.
Choosing "Undo Changes" I get a blank screen .... then the PC needs to be reset
to get out of it.
Choosing "Finish Partitioning and Write" ..... tells me "no root file system"
I know that other people have used the FastTrak S150 with RAID drives on 9.04 -
but I can't work out what I am missing. Maybe it is because the drives still
have FreeBSD partitioning on them? ...
I see on the Promise site there is Linux driver source for the card but would
not know where to start with it.
