Hi guys,
I've got a home built server with a huge RAID 5 array. I want to use Ubuntu on this guy, but installation has got me whipped. The system is using my recycled gaming system, an AMD Athlon64 3000+ on a K8T800 motherboard. And a Highpoint RocketRAID 1740 with 4 Seagate 1TB drives in a RAID5.
Now there's a lot of quirks with the way this system is running, but my biggest hurdle is booting after the install. Basically using either the Live CD install or the Server text based install, I have to load the module during install so that the RAID array is recognized and available for install. Install runs fine until boot loader where GRUB fails, but LILO succeeds.
Anyhow, after the install finishes and the system reboots, the kernel doesn't have support for the RAID array and the boot fails because it can't find /sbin/init. Shouldn't the install have added the module for the RAID array to the kernel? How are you supposed to install to devices that require a driver?
