Hi,
I've just installed 10.04 twice on 2 separate disks and it seems to have done something really strange to them. BIOS will not recognise them anymore, it just waits but they never come online. I have to unplug the disk completely for the system to boot.
The first time I thought I'd just lost a disk, but when exactly the same thing occurred the second time around, it seems like too much of a coincidence.
The installer didn't recognise the disks first time around as they were part of a RAID group previously. I did a
dmraid -E -r /dev/sda
to fix. After that just installed as per every other time I've used.
Any ideas? I'm baffled.
