I just got a new w520 with two 500GB hard drives configured in raid0 (seems to
be a bios based software raid0). Windows is already installed and running on it
(and I need it to stay there unfortunately) and I'm trying to install linux
along side it (debian unstable).
I got the installed running and it installed fine as it seems (although it looks
like it messed up the partition table a bit as now I also have sda1 and sda2
that weren't there to begin with I think), but I can't get grub to install and
rescue mode also won't boot into linux no matter what drive I choose as root. I
did manage to mount the partition from /dev/matter/...05 and everything is
installed on it, but again, no grub.
Any ideas on how to get linux up and running (I need to boot into it somehow).
I tried debian unstable installed from usb and debian live installed from usb,
but neither goes past the grub step.
I also tried following some instructions I found on the net saying to add
dmraid=true to the command line during install and then again when grub fails
when booting into recovery but no /dev/dm and no mounting the linux partition at
that point so I can't continue.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
