HIya,
I'm hopping someone will know what the solution to my problem is:
I have a mainboard with RAID and 6 SATA ports. Into those I have 6 2Tb HDDs in RAID 1.
In addition to that I have a 2 port PCIe SATA card with a SSD attached.
When I install (11.10 server) I can't see my RAID array but I can see the SSD, so I continue with the install.
On reboot the machine hangs.
If I remove all the HHDs and connect the SSD to the mainboard I can install and run Ubuntu with no problems. If I then move the SSD back onto the PCIe card and reboot I can also log into Ubuntu.
However, if I then readd the RAID array, everything dies again :(
So my questions are:
How do I best go about using all the SATA on my mainboard for RAID with an SSD on a separate card for the system?
And why can I not see the RAID array when I do the install?
Thanks for any help you can offer on this one!
Tony.
