[Bug 1286047] Re: Ubuntu 13.10 not booting on hardware RAID

[Phillip Susi]

Did the raid array show up as /dev/sda, or /dev/mapper/something?  Can
you run the boot info script and provide the results?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/

Also please provide a more detailed description of how the boot "doesn't
work".  Do you get the grub menu?  Do you get an error message?


** Package changed: grub (Ubuntu) => grub2 (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Ubuntu 13.10 not booting on hardware RAID

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce with Ubuntu 13.10:

  1. Setup the adaptec RAID controller to use ANY of the RAID modes
  2. Install Ubuntu 13.10 (in my case from USB) by using either classic partitioning or LVM
  -> Observe that the installer correctly finds the RAID disk and the installation process finishes successfully
  3. Boot the system
  -> Bug: System does not boot into the newly installed Ubuntu 13.10

  Hardware:
  - ASUS H87I-PLUS Motherboard with latest UEFI/BIOS update
  - Adaptec RAID 6405 Controller

  Note the issue reported here is not encountered with Ubuntu 14.04
  daily build (downloaded 27/02/2014). So it appears that Grub 2.02 used
  with Ubuntu 14.04 has a positive impact as it resolves the bug. I hope
  this will be another good reason to ship Grub 2.02 with Ubuntu 14.04
  LTS.
