I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on a Raid0 array consisting of two empty 500GB SeaGate drives and it's been a complete nightmare. I'm using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630644
I'm able to successfully install dmraid and list my array.
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dmraid -r
/dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_bdcfcchd", stripe, ok, 976773166 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_bdcfcchd", stripe, ok, 976773166 sectors, data@ 0
Now, when I try to create my partitions, I end up with...
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/nvidia_bdcfcchd
Unable to open /dev/mapper/nvidia_bdcfcchd
I had previously tried to use this guide using the alternate install CD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
I was able to create all my partitions and install Ubuntu but the installation would fail when I tried to install GRUB.
