| Omahn | Hello everyone. I have a problem with a preseeded install of 8.04.2 with RAID1, it fails at the update-grub step. Same with Intrepid. But not with Jaunty. Does anyone know what's changed in relation to Grub in Jaunty? (In the hope that it might give a clue how to fix 8.04.2!) | 19:53 |
| Omahn | A bit more background. I have a physical server (a Sun X4100 M2) with two SATA disks, I'm creating two RAID1 arrays, md0 for swap and md1 for /. The preseed works fine on a VM with a similar setup (2 SCSI disks) but not the physical box. It's very odd.. | 19:55 |
| shtylman | If I can remember right.../boot needs to be a separate partition | 20:11 |
| shtylman | Omahn: ^ | 20:12 |
| shtylman | ive done raid1 setups before and every time ive had to make /boot be a separate partition (can't remember if I raided that parition or not) ... I think I did | 20:12 |
| Omahn | And not raid1? (for /boot) | 20:14 |
| shtylman | Omahn: can't recall it was a long time ago...but I think I still did raid1 for boot...it just had to be separate for some reason | 20:15 |
| Omahn | Thanks, I'll give it a whirl now :-) | 20:15 |
| Omahn | Fingers crossed.. | 20:15 |
| shtylman | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 20:15 |
| shtylman | Omahn: ^ take a look at that...it give some tips and reasons about the /boot partition | 20:15 |
| Omahn | That seems to suggest its ok (not having a seperate /boot) so long as you're using RAID1. | 20:17 |
| Omahn | I'll give it a try anyway, only takes a few minutes. | 20:17 |
| Omahn | shtylman: I think that's worked (moving /boot to another raid1 device). It's certainly finished going through d-i, although the syslog doesn't mention the installation of grub to hd1 like I believe it should. I'll have to wait until I get physical access to the box next week to see if it has or hasn't installed to the second disk. Looks promising though! Thanks. | 20:47 |
| shtylman | Omahn: glad to hear :) | 20:48 |
| Omahn | Actually, I might be able to disable the disk in the bios to test it.. :-) | 20:49 |
| Omahn | shtylman: Works *perfectly* - thanks for your help. | 21:08 |
| shtylman | Omahn: no prob | 21:08 |
