Doing install of 64-bit 12.04.3 on an RD630 with 4 1tb disks. RAID5 was preconfigured in the hardware with the RD630 configuration program. I am operating on the theory that simply building a simple linux partition during "expert" installation would leave the system handled by the hardware RAID. I get this screen option in partitioning:
SCSI1 (2.0.0) (sda) - 3.0 TB LSI MR9260-8i
1.0 MB Free space
#1 1.0 MB K biosgrub
#2 2.9TB ext4
#3 1.0 GB F swap swap
67.7GB Free space
Where I downgraded swap to 1.0 GB. When I save to continue, I get the famous "No Root System Selected". I return and select #2, which is premarked "do not use". I have many options from which to choose. I chose "use as physical volume for RAID". Still no root system selected. I note at this time that neither #1 (biosgrub) nor #2 (now "raid") is "bootable".
Are there links to explain the details of my particular situation, or good suggestions of how to solve this one?
Many thanks
Jack
