I see no value in insults. I hit this problem. It is real. This launchpad entry helped me work around the problem. I expect never to hit it again. I'm here to help make things better for other Ubuntu users.
My disk drive has never been used in RAID and yet dmraid detected that it had. How could this happen? Is the test subject to false positives? You can see a little diagnostic output in #16. A few more details. My machine is an eMachine T2341 http://emachines.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=T%20Series&model=T2341. It came with a 40G drive. I replaced it with a 120G drive. I initialized by dd'ing the whole 40G drive to the 120G drive (not partition by partition) using a live CD and then using the usual Linux tools to adjust the partitioning. All this was it 2004 January. So any RAID fingerprint would have come from the original 40G drive supplied by eMachines. RAID and Promise are nowhere to be found in the user guide. When I first got the machine, I had no problem installing Fedora Core 4. In 2008 I had no problem installing Ubuntu 8.04. My first trouble was with my recent installation of Ubuntu 10.04. There is no Promise controller on this machine and yet the RAID fingerprint discovered was for a Promise format. Would it make sense for dmraid to issue a diagnostic when it finds an anomaly like that? If so, would it make sense for Ubiquity to make that diagnostic visible to the (otherwise baffled) user? -- Ubiquity can't find the sata hard disk (promise 376 chip) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543008 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
