I don't have a new problem. I don't need a new solution. I simply thought that a more detailed explanation in this thread would not only help me, but would make this thread more useful for the next person. Apparently, the installation media has a problem with my RAID controller. In my mind, that means that anyone who tries to install Arch on an HP server is going to run into this problem. There are a lot of HP servers in the world. When I searched for my server in the forum, I only got 3 hits. That means anyone who has this problem will probably read this thread (1,278 views so far). I was trying to help the next person. One definitive thread that clearly lays out a solution in the simplest possible terms seems much more likely to be helpful then a whole bunch of threads talking about the same thing.
But ok, I'll start another. Sorry.

[RAID Install] Can't install Grub - SOLVED

Me & a friend are building a local serveur on Arch (32-bit) for ~10 PCs in our association (half of them allready having AL Wink )
This server will basically have 2 main fonctions :
- NFS/YP server for a few PCs we've built under Arch for young people here
- backing up a few PCs we're using for the association.
Machine is HP with a PIV 1.7GHz, 512Mb SDRAM for now, & a single HDD IDE controller.
We got two UDMA 160GB HDD (Hitachi ) as we planned right from the start to improve on data security (& speed when possible).
I've set up partition as following :
- hda1 & hdb1, 100 Mb both, raid-1 for /boot
- hda2 & hdb2, 2 Gb both, raid-1 for swap
- hda3 & hdb3, 10 Gb both, raid-1 for /
- hda4 & hdb4, 150 Gb both, raid-1 + LVM2
Now I'm setting up Arch 0.7.2-20061104 (latest ISO from tpowa Smile ) , & everything went allright up to the point I wanna install the bootloader (might be the 10th time I set up AL this year)
To do so I'm following "Install Grub on the Primary Hard Drive (and save the RAID config)" (wich I may edit if I succeed this raid setup) with a look on "Reinstalling GRUB" both on the wiki.
1st I'm not 100% sure about mkinitcpio.conf config when it comes to raid; I've added 'raid' to HOOKS + a line just like on "Configuring mkinitpcio" :
Code:
md=2,/dev/hda3,/dev/hdb3
Edited grub/menu.lst, installed the kernel... but I want to chroot in order to install Grub I can't mount /dev :
Code:
# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
keeps complaining about wrong fs type.
I chrooted anyway and launched grub :
grub> root (hd0,<TAB>
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
I'm purely stuck here with no idea about what went wrong
If someone has spare time & knowledge, it'd be very nice indeed (our schedule says we begin to play with the network services 2morrow
EDIT : corrected the mkinitpcio.conf "md=2" line.

About install gub, I got it thanks to warnaud :
/dev/mdN was unexistent until I launched
# makedevs
Thereafter grub found the disk :
# grub
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
grub> quit
"save the RAID config" was allready done at this point.
Guess I misconfigured something in mkinitcpio.conf / menu.lst, 'cause when I boot it says :
:: Running Hook [raid]
:: Running Hook [filesystems]
:: Loading root filesystem module...-e
Attempting to create root device '/dev/md2'
ERROR: Failed to parse bloc device name for '/dev/md2'
unknown
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected.
Kernel panic...
mkinitcpio misconfiguration maybe.
From wiki :
First add the raid hook to the HOOKS list in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
OK :
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide raid filesystems"
Add some Kernel Parameters is less clear, or it maybe after reading "Installing_with_Software_RAID_or_LVM" that says to list the devices in the ROOT array ?
Kernel Parameters: Specify all your md arrays with md= parameter: (only adding the raid array you're booting from is enough)
add the following to the kernel line in grub/menu.lst:
Example: md=0,/dev/sda3,/dev/sda4 md=1,/dev/hda1,/dev/hdb1
working example: kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/md0 ro md=0,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1
So should one list its / or its /boot array ?

Can I install windows on a RAID hard drive?

Hi,
I recently purchased a used macPro. This mac pro had a raid set so 4 1TB hard drives were created to make one 4 GB partition. This made the raid utility pop up frequently saying there was something wrong so I just broke the RAID set and tried to set the disk up as their on storage partitions (Just as if they were 4 normal hard drives. Now that I did this, only 3 out of the 4 hard drives are visible in disk utility. Also, I reinstalled macosx snow leopard and tried installing bootcamp but when I partition the hard drive and restart using the windows installation disk, it doesn't show that I have any available hard drives to install windows on. Is this because of my RAID disks? (Sorry I don't know anything about raid disks and didn't know this computer had it before I bought it)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

As stated in the Mac Pro RAID card FAQ you can't install Windows if you have the drives controlled by that card.
Question: Why can't I install Boot Camp on my Mac Pro or Xserve that uses a RAID?
Answer: Boot Camp does not support the installation of Windows onto a Mac using hardware or software RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives). Boot Camp is not supported on the Xserve with or without the Xserve RAID Card installed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1346
Look inside and see if there is a RAID controller from Apple, proably top slot #4. Also look in System Profile under SATA interface.
Pull non-graphic card, seems you don't need it if you have one.
You are not getting something: internal hard drives are one thing. RAID card is another. The RAID card just replaces the normal SATA controller that otherwise interfaces.
Take a look at the photos and manual for the card.

You can find the above from the Mac Pro Support home page I posted above.

[PARTIALLY SOLVED] Arch on MacBook4: can't install GRUB

I've been running Arch on my MacBook4 (4 years old now) for quite some time in dualboot mode and have already set up GRUB sucessfully several times. I therefore feel kinda bad that I have to open a new thread this time, but after wasting the whole morning on Google, I don't see another solution.
What has happened is that I had to resize my Linux partitions because there was no space left on my system partition. I have the following partitions:
sda1 - fat32 EFI partition
sda2 - hfs+ Mac partition
sda3 - ext4 Arch system partition
sda4 - ext4 Arch home partition
As mentioned, when I first organized my Arch partitions this way, I could successfully set up GRUB, but it was GRUB1 which I had to set up via grub shell. Now, as it looks to me, GRUB1 is not available anymore but only GRUB2 which doesn't use the grub shell anymore. I've not been able to install GRUB2 the last time (that's why I ended up using GRUB1) and I'm still not able to install it this time!
When I start the MacBook and choose the Linux partition in rEFIt, I get to a black screen displaying GRUB_ and doing nothing more (because I don't have GRUB set up). That's how far I am right now.
Now can anyone help me with setting up GRUB(2)? Thanks in advance for any help!
Last edited by cryptkeeper (2012-09-05 06:13:14)

I've succeeded in working around the problem of installing GRUB2 after I found out that grub-legary is nothing else but GRUB1. So all I had to do to get back a running system was:
- removing the GRUB2 installation
- installing grub-legacy
- copying my old menu.lst to /boot/grub/
- grub shell: root (hd0,2); setup (hd0); quit
Now it works like a charm again.
Still I only consider this thread half solved because I still don't know how to install GRUB2 on my system. It's not of vital interest to me anymore (I don't care too much why, that is, due to which boot loader, my system boots, as long as it boots), but a solution would nonetheless be nice since this thread is opened anyway.
So: How can GRUB2 be installed on a MacBook dualboot system with rEFIt such as mine?

Can't install grub

hi..
i'm installing arch linux.. but when i want to install grub appears this message
Error 22: No such partition
i've try to use grub :

Ok.. this is it... someone can help me with this?

ok.. i had install again and appears that the problem was that the disk has some free space between partition..
i have no idea if this is the motive for the impossibility tha i had to install grub...
thanks any way...
i i'm sorry for my english... is very bad

Can't install grub for some unknown reason!

I just tried to install Arch using a bootstrap on a desktop with two HDs. I put Arch on the second part of the second HD. That all went fine till it came to installing grub! What an infuriating nightmare. I've wasted about 2 1/2 hours on it and I am so angry I'm positively raging.
I still have no idea what went wrong. Chrooting into the install was out because the devs aren't mounted so I used a livecd to boot into the part - running grub-install /dev/hda or /dev/hdb resulted in the same errors about "the second sector of stage 2 is unknown"
I only actually discovered there was an error cos I ran sh -x grub-install - without that this little gem:
grep 'Error [0-9]*: ' /temp/grub-install.img.865
It would have totally passed me by and I never would have know grub was stuck in an infinite loop!
So, any suggestions please?
Basically the set up is:
/dev/hda1 - WinXp
/dev/hdb1 - swp
/dev/hdb2 - /
That's it, nothing complex

i havent had to do this but what if you booted from install cd as if to install but go directly to
edit config files type in the info you nedd then run install grub ? just a far fetched thought
or boot from install cd to the root ie vmlinuz root=/dev/discs/discX/partY then mount /boot if its on seperate partition and any other
partitions you may have made /tmp /usr /sbin whatever if you installed lilo run it then boot up machine then run grub-install ,but before you run lilo though check lilo.conf that it installs to /dev/hdb
when booting up hopefully you can hit F8 or in my case hit esc then hit Ctrl to pull up boot menu
to tell machine where to boot to tell it whatever is /dev/hdb if you want to leave whatever boot loader is on /dev/hda alone
chrooting can be a pain /dev/null no permissions or cant chroot no /bin/bash or whatever
chroot is a neat tool but can be a pain at times
also check /boot/grub/device.map heres mine
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/sda
(hd2) /dev/sdb
(hd3) /dev/sdc
you may be missing something there i have had this problem of drives missing in this file

What should I do to fix this error?

Hi Frank,
With all that additional third party hardware it will be difficult to get a proper installation. You can either take out ALL 3rd-party hardware (just leave the 200 GB hard disk in there, but also take out the 120 GB) or you can simply clone the system from the 120 GB disk to the 200 GB disk. You can do that with utilities such as Carbon Copy Cloner.

MSI Z77A-G45 can't install window 7 by raid 0

I have a rig which:
CPU: Core i7 3770k
HDD: Two Western Digital 1 TB 7200
Main: MSI Z77A-G45
Power supply: 700W
Ram: 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz
*** VGA card: MSI Geforce nVidia GTX 660 Ti 3GBDDR5 TF
After configuring BIOS to setup RAID 0, I was trying to install Window 7 on my 1.8TB ( which was summed of two HDD )
But I got a problem about couldn't install the O.S on.
***And about the VGA, whenever I plug it in my mobo, my monitor shows black screen as it doesn't recognize the VGA card. What happen if I install window then add the VGA card later? Will it affect on my system later?
And what should I do to install RAID 0 with my stuff? I appreciate all supports.
Thank for read and answer my topic!

The 660ti will require a bios update to use most likely.
Is the system stable enough to flash? The forum flash tool included memtest, run this an so long as no errors or crashes, go ahead a flash to the most recent bios.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Make sure in you next post to include more detail on the raid set up error. What error? When did it fail?

Reinstalling grub on a RAID 0

I want to make my Arch installation a bit more fancy. So, I installed the grub-gfx package and did the changes to my menu.lst file in /boot/grub. Then I need of course to reinstall grub again so I do
grub-install /dev/mapper/isw_baaggideei_Volume0
but it fails. How do I reinstall grub when using RAID 0 (fake-RAID). I also tried the installation mention in wiki for fake-RAID and I can grub gets installed but no background appears eventhough it is in menu.lst file.
Regards
André

I don't think you can install grub with stripe raid. I'm running a RAID10 setup (MDRAID, so stripe and mirror in one action) and must have a separate RAID1 (mirrored only) array for my boot files. The reason is simply that GRUB cannot read the files off of the striped RAID array.
edit: Just noticed that you said fakeraid, so I assume this is some low-cost hardware solution that does the actual RAID'ing in software drivers. I'm not sure how this will differ from my MDRAID setup. I still don't see why people insist on using fakeraid controllers in RAID mode instead of switching them to SATA mode and using mdadm to setup arrays that are hardware agnostic.

Craptastic, cannot install Grub, [Updated]

I can't remember the voodoo I had to cast last time on this machine, but there is something weird about it. The other machine I did recently is very straightforward. It just works. This one I can't install grub on, and I'm thinking possibly it's partition erroring or it expects some type of special thing to be done in a special order. I just can't remember, and I've tried searching, and as always, liberally reading the documention.
Here's the thing: Arch in this case is going on a SCSI hard disk, alongside an IDE hard-drive with Windows XP on it, which has four partitions. I tried both manually and automatically partitioning the SCSI disk. It partitions fine, I go down the list like a good little boy performing normal operations, but then when Grub install time comes, it just craps out, with "Cannot install grub..blah...blah...check /dev/ttsy5" and because I have the partitions if I make any changes to them, the partitioning program gets posessed and throws partitions all over the drive, and then I have to zero-fill it, which is a 30-min wait per pop.
It actually took me probably weeks to figure this out last time (a year after my first attempt with arch, I got lucky and it worked). If nothing else, I would be grateful if somebody could advise me in great detail of an alternative method to install arch, since it appears my stupidity and my system has trouble with the install disk.
Thanks!!!!

Seriously need some help. First off, chroot from another Live CD doesn't work either. Knoppix is all I tried, but I personally don't want to sit around burning disks until I find one that works. So, I need a critique of what specifically I'm doing.
I've established thus far, that Noodle install works. It's also somewhat of a pain to install such old software with lit candles, a bag of wiccan-enscribed bleached chicken bones, and a satanic pentagram just to play standards crossover with. And I mean that in fun. But I don't really want to do it, because it's both hard at first, but the "easy" way out.
Where I want my drives=
SCSI: Arch Linux. Specifically proper udev root=sda1, swap=sda5, that's all there is to it. I don't know why swap wants to be sda5, but I am unable to change that.
IDE: Windows. It has four partitions C:Windows Root, F:Swap, G:Storage, E:Storage
What I have established as well, though is previously not divulged:
From within Wombat's install shell
$mount /dev/discs/disc1/part1 /mnt
$mount -t devfs none /mnt/dev
$mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
$chroot /mnt /bin/bash
$install-grub /dev/discs/disc0/disc /dev/discs/disc1/part1
$exit
^^^Seems to install, but I don't know if it will boot becuase I had Noodle's kernel installed at the time. So I think that's why it wouldn't boot.
From within both Noodle and Knoppix shells
$mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
$mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
$mount -t proc none /mnt/proc
$mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
$chroot /mnt /bin/bash
$install-grub /dev/hda /dev/sda1
error
When I could get a file to write?...ha, ha.
Gonna try to remember the menu.lst file:
title Arch Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd26.img
And I have tried variations such as this:
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)<---this is wrong according to boot errors
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hdb1 ro
initrd /initrd26.img #initrd /initrd26-full.img #initrd /boot/initrd-full.img
Ha, ha. Yeah, I think I found out that using another's install disk for the other's kernel doesn't really work, probably if they are very different kernels. But I am still stuck on this.

Hardware RAID on Arch?

Hello~ I'm buying myself a new PC soon and I was really looking forward to putting Arch on it but the problem is is that I cheaped out on the mobo so I have to get a $20 PCI raid card in order to put my new 160gbs in RAID0, the only problem is that of course the only drivers supplied are for Windows, and I'm not sure how to go about doing this on Arch / any other linux distro because I'm simply not the best at the linux environment. So yeah, any comments are appeciated. Oh, and if it matters, here's the link to the card I'll be getting: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6816132008

dr0p wrote:Okay, well if it's supported, how would I set it up just like in the software raid article I read?
I think you're getting confused now...
Software RAID and Hardware RAID are separate things. If you have Hardware RAID, you don't need to use Software RAID. The RAID array will just appear like a normal hard drive to Linux and the Hardware controller will take care of the RAID part.
Software RAID can be used instead of hardware RAID to save costs (no hardware controller required). Software RAID is generally slower than hardware RAID, but not noticable in desktop applications.

Can I install Snow Leopard and boot from software RAID 1 (mirror)?

I have a Mac Pro (quad core 2.66 GHz) on order for my office workstation. Yeah, I know new ones are probably coming out early next year but due to budget and upcoming projects I need one now. What I'd like to do is replace the pre-installed 640GB drive with two 1 TB drives and mirror them. The 640GB drive will be redeployed to another machine in the office. Can I boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD, go to Disk Utility, setup a RAID 1 with the two drives, install Snow Leopard to the mirror and then boot off the mirror set?
I've searched and found offhand comments to the effect that installing to and booting from a software mirror is OK, but I'd like to know for sure that it's OK. Any experience that you have with such a configuration would be nice to hear.

Yes. But before you do read the following:
RAID Basics
For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
RAID Tutorial;
RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison>.
Hardware or Software RAID?
RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
Pros and cons
Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.
For more detailed information on the differences between Software RAID and Hardware RAID you may want to read: Hardware RAID vs. Software RAID: Which Implementation is Best for my Application?

Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.

I'm getting the following error message when attempting to invoke "Find My Mac"
Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.

You have no recovery partition. This is a normal condition if your boot volume is a software RAID, or if you modified the partition table after running Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. Otherwise, you need to reinstall OS X in order to add a recovery partition.
If you don't have a current backup, you need to back up before you do anything else.
You have several options for reinstalling.
1. If you have access to a local, unencrypted Time Machine backup volume, and if that volume has a backup of a Mac (not necessarily this one) that was running the same major version of OS X and did have a Recovery partition, then you can boot from the Time Machine volume into Recovery by holding down the option key at the startup chime. Encrypted Time Machine volumes are not bootable, nor are network backups.
2. If your Mac shipped with OS X 10.7 or later preinstalled, or if it's one of the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery, you may be able to netboot from an Apple server by holding down the key combination option-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
3. Use Recovery Disk Assistant (RDA) on another Mac running the same major version of OS X as yours to create a bootable USB device. Boot your Mac from the device by holding down the option key at startup.Warning: All existing data on the USB device will be erased when you use RDA.
Once you've booted into Recovery, the OS X Utilities screen will appear. Follow the prompts to reinstall OS X. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
If none of the above choices is open to you, then you'll have to start over from an OS X 10.6.8 installation. There's no need to overwrite your existing boot volume; you can use an external drive. Install 10.6 from the DVD you originally used to upgrade, or that came with the machine. Run Software Update and install all available updates. Log into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy 10.7 or later, and download the installer. When you run it, be sure to choose the right drive to install on.

How can I install Arch Linux on a software raid?

Hi Guys, I've been at this for 3 days now and I can't get it to work. Basically I have 2 500GB SATA HDDs and I want them both on a raid1 array. I had it working on Ubuntu with no issues but the installer did all the work for me. I have attempted to follow the instructions on the wiki for Raid and LVM but I quickly get lost and I don't understand the LVM stuff. I managed to get 2 arrays up (md0 for /boot and md1 for /) but I was contently running into errors trying to install grub. In my last attempt I somehow managed to get grub installed on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb but then when I reboot the system it fails to mount /dev/md0 or /dev/md1 these raid devices don't appear in the /dev/ directory and I cannot bring them up manually. I have been all over Google and I can't find a comprehensive guide to setting up a raid 1 array and installing Arch. If anyone can direct me to useful instructions or layout the procedure for me I would really appreciate it.
Thank You.

This is genius, sheer brilliance. When I wanted to raid my Ubuntu install I specifically wanted to install a new HDD and just raid it with my existing disk but I had to download and alternate install CD and re-install the OS. I searched all over the net for an alternative and could not find anything. It's baffling that I had to start a thread to find such an insanely useful utility. Unless I'm taking the wrong approach. I mean, doesn't everybody raid if they can? Is there a better way to backup your disk? Why is it so difficult to find any useful information about raiding your disks? ... but I digress. Despite the fact that nobody else seems to know about this tool I know about it now and it seems to be the key to solving my problem. But I still have one problem. I have installed Arch on /dev/sda1. I downloaded (with wget), compiled, installed, and ran raider. I followed the on-screen instructions to the letter. When I swapped the disks and rebooted. I get pass the grub screen and get this error during boot.
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/md1 ...
Root device '/dev/md1' doesn't exist. attempting to creat it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/md1'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell.
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[ramfs /]#
I cannot type anything at this prompt. No response from the keyboard. I'm so close to getting this to finally work. Dose anyone know what might be going wrong.
Thank you guys for all your help.
