GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! I did it! I mean track it down ... it IS indeed weird and took me 4 hours... :/
Ultrashort FIX (if not boot disk is affected): - sudo aptitude purge dmraid YES! It is the f*ke-Raid module, that causes such headache.....is it? NO! It is the Ubuntu Installer... Reproduce: - Start your LIVECD (install or rescue) - While HD-Setup answer "Enable SATA Raid devices" once with YES and once with NO 1st: This is a very poor option description! - also with 10 years of HW-experience - till now i did not fully understand this option! Please add some additonal text! 2nd: So - in my case, i was installing WITHOUT this option - everything went fine. And now i did find out, that dmraid is INSTALLED and ENABLED at startup - WHY?! For dmraid developers: -- Board: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/PD/E7230/PDSME.cfm -- 2x Seagate HD 200GB on sata PORTS -- FastTrak/Promise SATA-Raid Controller yes, with ONLY 2 HDs on internal board ports (and empty raid- controller), the partiton nodes are removed if dmraid is enabled... -- udevd inotify_add_watch no such directory error for physical volumes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581566 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
