No RAID Disks

[sba99jpd]

I'm now getting the message "no raid disks" and the installation stops. Any clues as to what to do?

Cheers!

This sometimes happens when you hard boot and the system.vitrual.drive gets corrupted. If you let it run for 5-10 minutes you should get a shell prompt, type

more /tmp/zenigata.log

Hi,

Thanks for the help so far, but this happens each time I try to boot up; I tried "more /tmp/zeigata.log" and there was some activity, but still no ubuntu.

Can you help further?

I'm having this problem too. I haven't tried the "more" command, because running more on a logfile won't fix any problems, it'll just read the logfile. I'm sure you know what you're doing, and the contents of that logfile will be useful, but I haven't gotten around to rebooting yet, so do you have any other info? :)

I had this problem as well. Inspecting /tmp/zenigata.log, it appears to be complaining that the disk was hibernated and could not be mounted. While I have hibernation enabled and use it frequently, in this case proper shutdown had definitely been performed before the Wubi startup.

It appears that the mounter is improperly detecting a hibernation state..?

In any case, I disabled hibernation in the XP power control panel (and confirmed hiberfil.sys was removed) and everything worked after that. I'm posting from Ubuntu now :)

Bah! No excuse for that. How do I disable hibernation checking? I have hibernation enabled, however I did not hibernate to switch to Linux (although that should be implemented ASAP, IMHO) There has to be another workaround for this. My laptop is practically dependent on hibernation. A straight reboot takes ******* for EVER!!
