Thread: Intel p55: Fakeraid install with dmraid

just bit of context: i'm doing dual-boot (windows 7 / ubuntu 9.04) install on intel p55 bios controlled raid 0 array. of procedure i've been following comes https://help.ubuntu.com/community/fakeraidhowto , http://wiki.debian.org/debianinstaller/sataraid.

here's i've done far:
boot live cd

code:

$ sudo apt-get install dmraid $ sudo dmraid -ay

create ext3 , swap partition.
use ubiquity installer without installing grub.

without restarting:

code:

$ sudo swapoff -a $ sudo mount /dev/mapper/isw_whatever05 /target $ sudo mount --bind /dev /target/dev $ sudo mount --bind /dev /target/dev $ sudo mount -t proc proc /target/proc $ sudo mount -t sysfs sys /target/sys $ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /target/etc/resolv.conf  $ sudo chroot /target # apt-get update  # apt-get install dmraid # apt-get install grub # mkdir /boot/grub # cp /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-pc/* /boot/grub/ # grub --no-curses --device-map=/dev/null grub> device (hd0,4) /dev/mapper/isw_whatever05 grub> device (hd0) /dev/mapper/isw_whatever0 grub> root (hd0,4) grub> setup(hd0)

all goes , update-grub, edit menu.lst add windows, update-grub again , reboot.
grub lets me load windows, fails load ubuntu -- dmesg shows corrupt superblocks on ext3.

has consistently happened on several attempts. since i'm using new hardware, i'm not sure if it's bug or procedure. consider using purely software raid (mdam) last resort since prefer have windows running on raid 0 well.

help, suggestions, or resources appreciated.

also worth mentioning else attempting this:

windows 7 uses portion of unpartitioned drive space boot loader. 8mb chunk typically located either @ beginning of primary drive (not drive installed on) or before "system reserved" partition.

grub menu.lst entry uses root(0,1) instead of rootnoverify , points installation partition opposed system reserved.

i'm discovering may possible use mdadm in linux , dynamic drive in windows achieve independent, partition-based software raid.

still love dmraid working though.
