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

[Hag K]

Nonetheless, once the Grub records a screwed up a subsequent install by
using the USB Stick with the UEFI option does not make Ubuntu 13.10
bootable.

My current conclusion is that the following workaround is required to be
able to install Ubuntu 13.10. Possibly this workaround is equally
applicable with 14.04 too.

1. Start Ubuntu 14.04 Live CD
2. Install Ubuntu from within the Live CD.
This will make sure that the boot record will point to “sda”.
3. Install Ubuntu 13.10 by selecting the “UEFI: KingstonDataTraveler” from within the UEFI/Boot interface.

Note: In my case the USB Stick is named "KingstonDataTraveler", if you
use a different USB Stick this name will be different.

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.
