Title:
Installer stops after partition with error message "???" on RAID0 with
Win8.1 installing 14.04 LTS
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I just want to Preface, my question makes reference to both Ubuntu
14.04 AND LinuxMint 16 (based on Ubuntu 13.10). I know this is
strictly for Ubuntu, but the problem I'm having is identical with both
distro installations. I understand that obviously you can only help
me with the Ubuntu installer. I'm ok with that. This is what I asked
at AskUbuntu.com and they closed my question because they don't think
I'm talking about something Ubuntu related which I am:
Ok, I know that there is Dual-Boot Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7 on
FakeRAID Installation error - question marks "????..." and that that
post has some answers for me, but I don't know if it exactly matches
what I need help with. I am running on a RAID 0, not sure if it's a
Fake RAID or not. I posted my question on the LinuxMint forum as well.
And since Mint is based on Ubuntu and I was trying to install either
or (Ubuntu 14.04 or LinuxMint 16), I figured I'd ask here as well.
Here is what I posted on LinuxMint Forums:
But I have my own questions, I can provide the requested information
upon request. Just to start I am running an Alienware (Dell) M17xR3.
It came with Windows 7. Have a RAID 0 array, I think it's a "Fake"
RAID, but I know I also have a hardware RAID controller. Previously
partitioned and had Ubuntu 13.04 installed, had no issue installing
it, creating the partition and installing GRUB. I have since upgraded
to Windows 8.1 Pro, lost GRUB during the installation, but from the
HDD partition size of Windows, I knew my Linux partition was still
there. Should have just reinstalled GRUB, but instead tried
reformatting the Linux partition and doing a clean install of Ubuntu
14.04 x64 and also tried Mint 16 x64 Cinnamon. Exact same installer,
and exact same error message, happened after the custom partition
section, got just ??????. I don't know if Windows 8 created an
EFI/UEFI install, but I'm pretty sure Windows 7 didn't have it. Though
I'm not 100% positive. If someone can help me, I would greatly
appreciate it.
This is the link to the thread I posted it to:
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=164950&e=0
Per that thread it was asked for some terminal outputs to be posted so
here they are:
