Thread: Can't instal bootloader - Partition outside Disk

-

i still puzzled has changed in ubuntu os between 10.10 , 11.04 (through 12.04)
10.10 installs flawlessly, bootloader , all.
newer ones install too, except bootloader makes system unusable.
if worked before no longer does, should reported bug?

again, have no disks, revodrive.
current disk configuration ubuntu 12.04 running fine, after 10.10 install cd
, 3 upgrades on net:


pc@pc-system:~$ sudo fdisk -lu
[sudo] password pc:
fdisk: unable seek on /dev/sda: invalid argument
pc@pc-system:~$ sudo parted -l

from livecd add these drivers looks running raid or lvm.

able search lvm partitions if lvm2 package install
# ("apt-get install lvm2" in debian based distros)
# able search linux software raid partitions (md raids) if
# "mdadm" package installed.
sudo apt-get install lvm2
sudo apt-get install mdadm
sudo apt-get install gawk
sudo apt-get install xz-utils

know works on standard partitions may not work on raid. should use raid commands fix. not know raid.
