I have two identical hard drives installed in a system with an Intel Controller. I set up the logical volume in the Bios and installed 10.04. I was able to partition just fine but grub had an issue installing. It said it could not be installed to /dev/sda even though I told it to install under /dev/mapper/...

So I followed the instructions here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1584760

And no matter what I do I can not seem get the system to boot off the Raid Volume... It just says no bootable device (have checked to make sure it is first in the boot order in the bios)

Any ideas?


More information


ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /dev/mapper/

I also tried the following...


sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/mapper/isw_dgcbgiheje_Volume0

Ok this looks like it is an issue with my machine's bios as when I hit f12 and tell it to use the Raid Volume it boots correctly now.
