I'm fast gravitating towards this option ... |
| 12 |
|

Although with metadata 0.90 I was able to progress with the installation |
| 14 |
(after I deselected the swap partitions) the grub-install script wanted to |
| 15 |
install in /dev/md127p1 but it failed. I had to override the Ubuntu installer |
| 16 |
since I could only install grub in the /dev/md127 block device. BTW, I'm |
| 17 |
still at a loss as to why for Ubuntu the RAID 1 is seen as /dev/md127 and not |
| 18 |
/dev/md0 which I created originally with sysrescuecd. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Either way, it won't boot again. Now it stays on a blank screen, no error at |
| 21 |
all shown. I'll have another go with sysrescueCD to see if I install grub on |
| 22 |
/dev/sda and /dev/sdb and if this does not work either, I'll stop wasting time |
| 23 |
and follow your suggestion of installing on a single disk first, before I |
| 24 |
mirror it thereafter. |
