I am trying install ubuntu server on a dell 2950 with a hardware Raid5 totaling 6TB of data.
I was in the process of doing a manual partition of the disk, how ever I am not being prompted to select the partition type.
1. I can choose the hard disk which is identified as SDA with 6.0TB
2. I then select YES to create a new empty partition table
3. I then select the free space available
4. I then select create new parition
5. I then select the size as 4GB ( i want this to be the / partition with a boot flag on)
It is as this point I should be prompted for the Partition Type(primary or logical) BUT I AM NOT PROMPTED, it skips over this and goes to Partition Location (beginning or ending)
I have installed this numerous times, but it is the first time that I have ever seen this issue.
If I continue along with the installation, I then get an error when GRUB begins to install as it tries to install it to "hd0"
What can I do?
