Ubuntu Installation :: Detecting Intel Matrix RAID10 And Start 10.04 Install
Jun 17, 2010
I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 to my raid 1+0 array. Install just sees four different hd:s
main-0
main-1
storage-0
storage-1
There is not showing any size or anything. I have set two raid arrays: main and storage, both with 4-hard-driver (raid10). Storage array is partitioned to 1TB and 400GB partitions, 400GB partition is where i want to install ubuntu. Main array has windows already. Where to go next?
root@ubuntu:~/src# dmraid -ay
RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_main" already active
RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_storage" already active
RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_main1" already active
RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_storage1" already active
root@ubuntu:~/src# parted_devices .....

I am trying to install 11.2 on a system with RAID-1 /boot partition and RAID-10 /(root) partition. I have done this before with 10.3 but am hitting a wall with 11.2. In particular, the boot image loads and then halts when it tries to load the RAID-10 root partition saying that the personality is not laoded. modprobe shows that the raid10 module does not appear to be part of the boot image. I cannot find anything in the installation that will allow me to specify a module to include in the init image. How do I tell the installer to include an additional module?

Ubuntu 2.6.31 - 14 generic
Problem began with RAID0 failure using 2 WD FALS1001 HDDs. I was unable to boot so I replaced the drives with 2 new FALS1001. Installed Win7 64 Ult, installed/updated all drivers/OS and had the same problem with one of the RAID drives again. Usually blue screens with Kernel_stack_inpage_error. I have Intel Matrix Storage version 8.5.0.1030 and can usually boot back into windows even when one disk out of the array shows unknown error (0) and reset the disk to normal. Now it seems to be progressing worse and hit or miss, I can get Windows to load 1 time out of 20 posts.
Sometimes the array shows normal, sometimes failed, sometimes unknown error (0) and other times, everything shows normal and healthy and attempts to boot windows but has read errors or unable to find OS errors. I simply want to access my data via Ubuntu so I can back it up and wipe the drives for re-installation. I see that Intel shows support for Linux but I'm lost as to what I need to do next. Intel link: [URL]. I currently see one of my drives listed in Ubuntu as a RAID component and the other is listed as a hard drive with unknown information. I have loaded mdadm but I'm unfamiliar with how to use it.

I ran Ubuntu desktop for a while then installed Ubuntu Server 10.4. I restarted the machine after install and now I am freezing at the BIOS loading screen right after the "Intel (R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v6.0.0.1022 ICH8R" part.Have tried: taking all USB devices, cd's, etc, out.Edit: ATA AHCI BIOS, Version iSrc 1.02.23 11212006Am installing on a Dell Dimension E520

I've been using Slackware 13.0 32-bit because of a problem supporting RAID 0 metadata for Intel Matrix Storage Manager. I would like to move to 64-bit with Slackware 13.1 but I can't see any way to use a 64-bit kernel with my RAID setup. Because the "mdadm" in Slackware does not support the "-e imsm" option to read Intel Matrix Storage Manager Metadata I have been using "dmraid". Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a way to make "dmraid" (a 32-bit application) work on 64-bit Linux. It appears that "dmraid" may be unsupported now, and I can't find a good place to get current source to compile on a 64-bit system. Essentially "dmraid" is only a program to interpret metadata and then configure the standard Linux device mapper to set up the required mirror or stripe mapping. So, it actually does not have to interact directly with the kernel.
I believe it only issues I/O requests to read disks and configure "dm" devices. So far I have not had to rebuild "dmriad" since Slackware 10. I don't know if 32-bit libraries are an option, or if those can be added to an initrd image (required to use dmraid before booting). People claim that "mdadm" will work with Intel Matrix Storage RAID 0 but I have never found any detailed information about how to do that. When I've tried the few examples I've run across on Slackware I just get an error that the "imsm" metadata format is not supported. I have not been able to locate a site to browse Slackware packages. I was hoping to find "dmraid" in the 64-bit packages. I think "dmraid" was at one time in Slackware but perhaps not any longer.

I recently bought a new system that has an Intel Matrix Storage Manager "RAID controller" (ICH10R/DO) on it. I'm a bit baffled over what this really is. I see at [URL] that this controller is supported by the Linux dmraid and mdadm commands and supported in the 2.6 kernel version for quite a while. This looks as though it is some sort of convergence of a brain-dead hardware chipset that requires software installed in the OS to manage it. Kind of reminds me of the wimpy Windows modems of the past. How I deployed. I set up two Seagate ST31500541AS disks as a mirrored pair in the hardware controller interface (CTL-I setup after POST).
I installed Fedora 12 in the usual fashion, though was confusing considering I expected a single "RAID device" to be seen by Anaconda. I went ahead and set up the two native /dev/sda and /dev/sdb as a mirrored RAID device on installation (mdadm under the cover). Recently, Palimpsest is insisting that I have a disk problem with "Disk has many bad sectors" error on /dev/sdb. When I run "dmraid -s" it tells me that the meta device is OK and I see no hardware errors in the messages log. I'm not having kernel panics as others seem to have had on RHEL 5.x.

I got opensuse 11 running on a dedicated HDD and got another 4 HDDs created as RAID 10 via the Intel Matrix RAID Controller of the ICH10 southbridge. I simulated a device failure and disconnected one of the drives and during POST the controller simply says that I need to rebuilt the array from the OS. So how am I supposed to do that since there were no usable raid utitlities for openSuSe delivered out of the box.

I just can't find... why is my code seg-faulting?
PHP Code:

I have just upgraded and now X won't start and remove xorg.conf etc doesn't fix it...
This is a nettop with standard Intel graphics - no NVidia chipset (inc Ion).
This machine has been upgraded through various versions so I suspect there may be an old file somewhere which is causing this.
This is what is shown in the log:
[ 1211.411]
X.Org X Server 1.9.0

Obviously I can't install to it if I can't select it from the drop down menu. Not that it really matters, but this happens with both 64 and 32 bit versions, clean disc, no errors. I've also tried xubuntu 32-bit.
I can install Slackware on it, or for all I know every other OS. I can find it with cfdisk, fdisk, gparted, etc. I can format it in windows and use it as a drive If I try to install ubuntu from windows on it once I boot into ubuntu to finish the install it goes in an infinite loop of something like 'no root filesystem please reconfigure (or something like that), hit ok, repeates the message until I get tired of hitting ok and reboot. Always lists it under places as '500gb filesystem' even if there are no assigned partitions on it. I've rebuilt the partition table with fdisk analyzed it with disktest (drivetest? something test or testsomething) I've considered giving up and using another distro...

I have an HP pavilion laptop with core i5 4210U that has intel HD4400 graphics. I installed debian wheezy 7.7 after shrinking win 8 and freeing 350GB for debian. I went through the hurdle of making a UEFI bootable USB drive and the system dual boots fine. But once I boot debian, I get all the run time messages and then login prompt flashes and the whole screen is blank except for a prompt on top left. I can open a terminal but that's about it. I'm unable to remotely login (connection refused) from either windows using moba terminal or another debian machine.
I searched the internet and found : [URL] ....
I tried the apt-get but it failed saying:
Code: Select allE: The value "wheezy-backports" is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
In case I have to install Debian testing version that some said worked, how do I get rid of my current installation, which is UEFI? Do I just erase its partitions in windows? Then what happens to its UEFI boot manager? Just leave it there to rot? If I install again with debian testing version, I envision some problems of the grub UEFI boot manager thinking that the debian 7.7 is still there and try to boot to it. I do have the partition images in partition manager home version 12 so I could just restore the UEFI partition.

How would I do this? First part of the thread title is because I'm not sure if the install of Debian Squeeze would even detect the Start key. (Btw, is there a small enough sticker of the GNOME logo I could buy and put over the Windows logo? )
I read this thread: [URL] but I'm confused about what linmix is saying. Is there a way to get the power key to do the equivalent of what it would in Windows?
I don't find this an essential task, but it would make life a lot easier.
Edit: I mean Super Key not Power.

I have installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on my eMachines 350 netbook.. so far, it works good aside from the printer and the built-in SDcard reader.
1. I have tried installing the database driver for epson( dot-matrix printers) but i was out of luck until i have installed the SCP(sorry if I forgot/misrepresented the name) driver which made my printer working.. However, the print quality is a total mess.. broken letters and etc.. (ribbon is brand new) Can someone tell me how to solve this?
2. Having said that I finally solved issue #1, and the printer prints the way it should be, how would I configure my netbook to print wirelessly via a wifi router.. (I was able to do this with windows computers wherein a printer is shared on the network) however, I find it hard to do this in ubuntu since I am not that familiar with this. Note that when I go to system>admin>printing it shows the windows 7 computers in the homegroup but when I search for a shared printer, nothing shows up.. (I know, I'm a NOOB!)
3. This is the last one, I would feel great if we could at least solve this together.. the built in CARD READER is not working on my eMachines EM350 netbook..

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 lts server on my Intel "fakeraid" (software raid) (2x250 sata).To test my RAID 1 I turned off one HD and start the system.The first screen (Intel software screen) show Status = Degraded, but the system starts normally with just one HD.Then I turned off the system and turned on the HD again, so the first screen (Intel software screen) shows Status = Rebuild. If I enter in the software raid panel the folowing message is showed: "Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within the operating system"The system starts normally... but this message status stays permanently even I restart the system again

I'm planning to setup a ubuntu file server. I'll be using the 8.04LTS server edition. the system is probably going to have 4 harddrives. at the end they shall form an software RAID10 system. I'd like to use lvm at some point in order to able to make snapshots as I read through some mdadm and lvm docu/tutorials I could think of two possible setups:
in both cases:
small raid1 of 2 partitions that will form /boot
small raid1 of 2 different partitions as swap space
1. the rest will form 2 large raid1, which will be combined to a single virtual drive via lvm
2. make a raid10 out of the rest with mdadm, then make a lvm volume group just consisting of the 1 virtual raid0 device are there pros/cons for either solution? is lvm as powerfull as mdadm in striping? will the first solution produce less overhead?

New to these boards and thought I'd try my luck w/ Ubuntu for a strictly school/work labtop. I created an install disc and booted from it. But nothing appears it's just a black screen, I have to restart everything to get anything done.
Labtop is a Acer Aspire 5736z-4427 with a Intel T4500 processor. Now I know it is not 'officially' listed as a certified notebook, is that the reason why it's not running the disc? Or should I try re-burning a disc and try again? I'm trying to install Ubuntu's latest version btw.

Secondly , when i try to download the 64 bit OS , it shows amd64. Is the ubuntu64bit common for both amd and intel machines ?

I have experienced a failure in one disk in my 4 disk software RAID10setup, but a straightforward rebuild is thwarted by the fact that twoof the other disks are considered non-fresh and hence get kicked outof the array. This of course prevents the array from starting up.Here's more detail about my setup:I have 4 2TB SATA disks in RAID10.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 243201 1953512001 fd Linux raid autodetect

im having problems finalizing the installation of fedora 10 on a new ASUS P5E-VM that uses Intel G35 chipset.
1. i think fedora did not recognize the video driver since all the installation was in text mode and i cannot use "init 5" to load a UI
2. i tried to find some drivers (if any1 can recommend a rpm that i can download i will apprichiate it very much) but could not transfer them to the fedora since i could not mount any USB disk on key in the linux i tried using: mount -t vfat /mnt/usb (after mkdir /mnt/usb)
3. i tried to burn the driver but then could not access the dvd...
4. no internet connection yet... but thats because i cannot access my network drives that are on the USB key as well...

I should install a new openSuse 11.2 or if I should make an Update-Installation from DVD (see openSUSE 11.2 Installation Quick Start Installation Mode: Select Mode - New Installation / Update / [...]) or an Update Installation via Yast.Now I am using openSuse 11.1 and Gnome 2.24.1 (mostly, 1 account is using KDE) and Kernel Linux 2.6.27.45-01.1-pae. "/home" is on an separated partition (as part of an extended partition).
Contra new installation?:
- I have an Laptop (Samsung x20) with integrated intel 915 graphic and an very hight resolution (1400x1050). The monitor's resolution is not listed in the bios of the graphic cart/solution. Because of that I had many problems with my fist installation of suse/openSuse linux.
- Will I have problems to keep my old accounts?
Pro new installation?:
- Sometimes funny system reports (mostly about ICE).
- I have been logged in as root in Gnome (as I had some problems with (no) audio, the digital optical audio out is still not running).
- I think the fist installation was a few years ago maybe I had been to often "bold".

Pretty much what the title says.. a few more details:
- I installed 10.04 using the alternative install so I've been doing all this in safe mode
- I installed a newer kernel (2.6.33) and still black screen
- I tried to install an updated Intel xorg driver, but I kept getting dependency errors (xorg, x11, something else)
I read another thread on this forum from a user who is using the same platform (Intel HM55), and I got stuck at the last point (can't get Intel xorg driver to install).

I have installed Debian on my intel iMac, I installed grub first in my root partition and then in the Debian partition. When I boot my Mac, rEFIt brings me to the boot page and shows the Linux drive, but when I choose it, it tries to start up and then gives me the line "Not a bootable drive" and just hangs. How to get this to boot?

Installing new Intel server S5000VSA (Sapello) motherboard with RAID 1. Downloaded F10 32 bit DVD and run install. Everything works fine and select Samba and all that. Install completes but on reboot get a blank screen.
I know with Windows one has to load the RAID driver off the Intel driver CD, so guess that is the problem. But how do I do this in Fedora? Question: How do I get to select the Intel RAID driver in the install process? There does not seem to be any place to stop and make this selection. I tried selecting the Red Hat and Suze installs on the Intel configuration assistant but it then reboots and that is it. In Windows it would ask to insert the Intel driver CD but that does not happen. So I am stuck. I loaded Fedora some 3 year ago and like it but then it was not on a RAID setup. I created a VMWare install on my desktop and did the same install options and it works. So the DVD seems fine.
