Confirm on Lenovo RD120 with ServeRaid 8k controller and Sata drives. grub-install failed as well, but this worked: Bring the machine up using the desktop LiveCD and set up grub manually through the terminal command line:
chroot /media/disk grub find /boot/grub/stage1 root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) (substitute hd0,0 with your own values). Upon reboot, the machine comes up. -- IBM Serveraid 8k fails to boot Ubuntu Server 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308576 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
