<turtle4464> cjwatson, here http://pastebin.ca/1590707 <turtle4464> cjwatson, here is the second http://pastebin.ca/1590774 <cjwatson> any particular reason you posted snippets of the logs rather than just the whole syslog file? <turtle4464> cjwatson, i only posted the part where the installer was trying to install grub, because thats where the installer crashed <cjwatson> I don't debug incomplete syslogs <turtle4464> does that log have anything useful? <cjwatson> it says that the dmraid set is broken <cjwatson> # <cjwatson> Oct 3 15:05:44 ubuntu ubiquity: ERROR: isw device for volume "Volume0" broken on /dev/sda in RAID set "isw_bgiiahbjbc_Volume0" <cjwatson> # <cjwatson> Oct 3 15:05:44 ubuntu ubiquity: ERROR: isw: wrong # of devices in RAID set "isw_bgiiahbjbc_Volume0" [1/2] on /dev/sda <cjwatson> it doesn't say why <turtle4464> yea, i don't really know what that means <cjwatson> it could be that the installer's failing to assemble it properly, or it could be genuinely broken. I can't tell, sorry <turtle4464> oh <turtle4464> could me having a second storage drive connected be affecting it? <cjwatson> I'm afraid I don't know; dmraid is just saying it's degraded, which would normally mean that one of the drives in the set is broken or missing <cjwatson> or misconfigured <turtle4464> i am not running raid at all, i don't even know how, there is 1 160GB OS drive which i let the installer use completely for the OS, and 1 1TB drive with just avi files * CarlFK (n=c...@c-98-228-196-102.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #ubuntu-installer <cjwatson> turtle4464: it looks like you have raid metadata on your disk though <cjwatson> of the inferior BIOS RAID variety, but that's probably not your fault :) <turtle4464> cjwatson, i've never run raid, at least not intentionally, ubuntu 9.04 installs fine, is there something else i could be doing? <cjwatson> no, what's probably happening is that now we have (slightly) better support for dmraid than we used to <cjwatson> but unfortunately your computer appears to be set up with the capability for dmraid, but it's only actually configured on one drive so the dmraid tools don't like it <turtle4464> O.O <turtle4464> this is generic hardware, intel dp35dp mobo, q6600 <cjwatson> I don't need model numbers, thanks :) <cjwatson> it's a bug in grub-installer that it's trying to install to dmraid despite dmraid being broken
