I have run a clean install of Karmic 64 onto my multi boot system with RAID1 mirroring two identical SATA hard disks.
The partitioner recognises the RAID array during the Karmic install dialog and I have four partitions set up like this.
/dev/mapper/pdc_iaedgi1 fat32 ( windows partition )
/dev/mapper/pdc_iaedgi2 ext4 ( root partition )
/dev/mapper/pdc_iaedgi3 linux-swap ( swap partition )
/dev/mapper/pdc_iaedgi4 ext4 ( home partition )
After running my Karmic install without any errors when the computer restarts I am dropped back to the BusyBox terminal with the error
ALERT! /dev/mapper/pdc_iaedgi2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
When I boot up the Karmic Live CD /dev/mapper/pdc_iaedgi2 is present with the root file system intact.
I really don't understand why this refuses to work. Does anybody have any ideas?
