I have installed Hardy with some help from the forums, now I am trying to get Intrepid going. An distro-upgrade didnt go so well now I am trying it from a new install:
I have to use dmraid to get gparted to read the partitions correctly. After install I have trouble with grub...
This is what I did:
1. boot live disc
2. when I get to the part of the install about partitions I....
ctrl+alt+f2 > apt-get update > apt-get install dmraid > ctrl+alt+f7
here is my partition setup:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_debdjei
/dev/mapper/nvidia_debdjei1 type=ntfs
/dev/mapper/nvidia_debdjei2 type=ext3 mountpoint=/ (format during install)
/dev/mapper/nvidia_debdjei3 type=ext3 mountpoint=/home (no format)
/dev/mapper/nvidia_debdjei4 type=swap
I finish the install
Note: at step 7 of 7 of the setup I click advanced > install boot loader checked is checked > device for boot loader = (hd0) ...(these are the default option)...
system installs....I reboot.....
error:
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
Error 15
my question: does dmraid get installed with the default install of ubuntu (since I installed it while in the live setup cd)?
(so maybe Error 15 (file not found) cant be found because dmraid is not here to setup the /dev/mapper/nvidia_debdjei. ???
help please!
