Hi all, ehem... AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I've run Ubuntu x64 on my laptop for years with few problems. Now I've bought a desktop with an Asus P8P67 mboard with a 64gig SSD and 2x2T sata drives config'd in a raid0. Win7 is on the SSD and works fine. I *tried* to install Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 with /boot, root on the SSD and /home on the raid0 (many times, many ways) and have struck out with what seems like the system not being able to mount the /dev/mapper/xxx partitions. I end up with /dev/mapper/xxx_Volume0 and /dev/mapper/control only. At least I can still choose Win7 from the grub menu and have a computer.
Ok, the live Cd doesn't load, just hangs. So I'm using ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64. I disconnected the network so there are no updates. I've tried several other linuxes and earlier releases but no joy.
Then I found boot-repair and ran it and it sent my info to paste.ubuntu.com/764648 . I tried again (this time choosing the softRAID choice) and the result is pasted on paste.ubuntu.com/764650. I think the problem is that the raid0 is not available. Do I need some kind of (extra/external) driver or something?
All of the info I could google so far deals with different issues except I saw that there used to be a bug (in 9.10 I think) that produced the /dev/mapper/xxx_Volume and /dev/mapper/control situation.
Thanks in advance for any help.
