Install problems

[Axtel Nemeth]

I can't provide you with any bug numbers it won't even start up and run. I just get the grub error message and that's it. v8.04 through 10.10 run fine on these hardware raid controllers. when it won't even start up and run that's about as bad as it gets. 


They have changed something about the grub since v10.10 and I don't know any more because it won't even run. I realize that's very difficult because the normal system of reporting bugs just doesn't work in this case.

At first when 11.04 was a beta v. I was able to do a workaround by making a small partition (ei. 1gb) and designating it as a boot partition, and then telling it to install grub there.  With subsequent updates that stopped working. Also I have tried telling it to put grub in other partitions, and that doesn't work either.  This is just a guess,but I suspect that it won't install or recognize grub in another partition even if you tell it to. I can't verify that, because it won't even run,and I'm probably not technical enough either.

All I can say is all the Windows os's from 2000 to 7 work, all the ubuntu v's from 8.04-10.10 work. Other linux (suse 11.04ect) work, it's only the ubuntu v11 series that doesn't work. I'd like to get this to work if it's possible because these hardware raid controllers are really fast!

Hopefully there is a solution and in the meanwhile v10.10 is doing fine for now :)
