[CoLoCo] Hardy SoftRAID

[Leon Jaimes]

Hello,
I am trying to set up a SoftRAID configuration on my old machine and
keep running into issues with it.
Does anyone know of a good step by step guide?  The guides I've found
are older and may still apply, but I keep getting stuck.
The machine is an
AMD X2 with 2GB RAM and 4x300GB SATA II Seagate Barracudas.
1.  Boot off the ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso cd.
2.  When it gets to the partition set up I use manual partitioning and
set it up like so:
sda
>sda1 primary 246.7MB B F ext2 /boot
>sda2 primary 4.0GB K RAID
>sda3 primary 295.0GB K RAID
>pri/log 822.5MB FREE SPACE
sdb
>sdb1 primary 4.0GB K RAID
>sdb2 primary 295.0GB K RAID
>pri/log 1.1GB FREE SPACE
sdc
>sdc1 primary 4.0GB K RAID
>sdc2 primary 295.0GB K RAID
>pri/log 1.1GB FREE SPACE
sdd
>sdd1 primary 4.0GB K RAID
>sdd2 primary 295.0GB K RAID
>pri/log 1.1GB FREE SPACE
RAID 5 device # 0
>#1 885GB EXT3 /
RADI 5 device # 1
>#1 12GB swap

I set it up and it all looks fine until it get to the end and tries to
install grub, then it gets a fatal error.
Is there something obviously wrong with my setup?
Should I be using the AMD64 cd?

My end goal here is to have a file server so if anyone knows of a
better way to do this, let me know.
Thanks
