  1. Hi, thanks for the guide. I have a problem, after inserting the command: ” grub –no-curses” I get this error:

    Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

    Unknown partition table signature

    [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For
    the first word, TAB lists possible command
    completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
    completions of a device/filename. ]
    grub> device (hd0) /dev/mapper/isw_bbhgichgbb_Stripe
    device (hd0) /dev/mapper/isw_bbhgichgbb_Stripe
    grub> root (hd0,0)
    root (hd0,0)
    grub> setup (hd0)
    setup (hd0)

    Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

  2. Is your RAID partition totally dedicated and clean? If not try to delete and create your RAID partition in your RAID’s BIOS. And can you please post the output from this:

    find /boot/grub/stage1

  3. I have the same problem

  6. Hey, so I’m new to linux and have an extra machine lying around that I ran windows on. It kept crashing and having networking problems with my other windows box so now I would like to try linux. Mint seemed like a good choice so I saw your tutorial and gave it a shot. My machine I’m attempting to install linux on uses BIOS raid, or as it seems to be called in the linux world, Fake Raid. I completely reformatted both HDs and re created a raid array in the bios. Everything in your tutorial went great until around step 10. I coppied the /dev/mapper/control file using “sudo cp -R control ” and it coppied over fine. I then tried “sudo fdisk ” and get the following error:

    last_lba(): I don’t know how to handle files with mode 20640
    Unable to read

    I have looked around online but can not find any real answers as to how to fix this, or as to even why this is really happening. I guess this all stems from my lack of understanding of what is really being done in these guide steps. I hope someone can help me out…

    Thanks
