14.04 Server on Software RAID and UEFI

[erik17]

Hi there,

i've spend some days on trying to fix this alone, but with no result so far:

My Setup:
2x1TB HDD in an computer with UEFI (no legacy mode/BIOS mode available), I want one big RAID 1 partition for my system (14.04 LTS server) over both plates.

after various tests with different configurations i've used this one to get at least a GRUB shell at startup instead of nothing at all:
http://getasysadmin.com/2012/08/inst...n-uefi-system/

with the difference of not using a lvm. There is just one big RAID-partiton where everything is installed.

As allready mentioned, after that, i'm only greeted with a GRUB shell at the beginning, no error or fault prompt.
So I started my live-usb-system and tried the Boot-Repair utility. It failed and gives no solution besides posting the log:

So here are my questions:

Was I wrong at the beginning? What is the configuration for RAID 1 and UEFI boot?
Is my system fixable or do I need to reinstall it?

Thanks in advance.

Erik

Boot-Repair does not post the grub.cfg in the efi partition.
That should be just a configfile entry pointing to the grub.cfg in your install.

grub doesn't boot with efi and md raid root

RAID install with efi, need configfile and grub in efi partition.

Standard entry, I would expect yours to be to a md entry, not hd0 entry.

configfile (hd0,gpt8)/boot/grub/grub.cfg
found that putting grub.cfg into /EFI/ubuntu works, even when grubx64.efi is in /EFI/Boot

something like this?
set prefix='(md/0)/boot/grub'
set root='(md/0)'
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
