I have a hardware RAID 1 which seems to be recognized find by the Ubuntu installer. I choose the "Entire Disk - Guided" partition strategy and accept the defaults, writing them to disk. When it comes to choosing where to put Grub2, however, everything I try fails. Any advice would be awesome.

  • Drop to shell and extend your question with errors from the /var/log/syslog. Jul 31, 2012 at 11:15
  • Does your server happen to have something like a FC (Fibre Channel) card installed so your server sees some additional LUNs / drives there? If that's the case, Debian/Ubuntu installer can sometimes get confused and try to install GRUB to those SAN drives instead of the drives you originally planned... Jul 31, 2012 at 11:28
  • No, it has 2 x 160gb and 2 x 320gb. Each pair is in a hardware RAID 1. I am trying to install on the 160gb pair, leaving the 320gb pair to format and mount after installation.

  • In Debian, there is Expert Install, there you can drop to shell. This might be in Ubuntu too. Jul 31, 2012 at 12:30
