[Bug 815432] Re: Ubiquity is not hard disc to install during live CD session.(Oneiric)

[Brian Murray]

Ah here is the issue in syslog:

Jul 24 14:05:11 ubuntu activate-dmraid: Serial ATA RAID disk(s) detected. If this was bad, boot with 'nodmraid'.
Jul 24 14:05:11 ubuntu activate-dmraid: Enabling dmraid support.

It looks to me as if the hard disk is on a raid controller and there is
only one drive available on it.  It seems you can boot without using
dmraid support by passing the kernel command line 'nodmraid'.
