Title: Installed 7.2 and get grub loading Error 2
Post by: k0r54 on November 03, 2007, 06:44:38 PM

Hi,

I had a machine up and running with the 200gb IDE HDD, I have got some 500gb hdd and have used raid 0 on them so I have one drive of 1tb.

I installed the sme 7.2 version (same as from the 200gb hdd, (same disk)). However straight after the install I get

Grub Loading, please wait...
Error 2

What does this mean?

Thanks

Ok bug posted but it turned out that it was raid 0 causing the problem.

When i disabled it it was fine.

How can I get raid 0 to work?

Thanks

sme will default to raid 1 when using 2 identical disks, and i dont know of a way to make the install use linux raid in raid 0. But as its a server i doubt you would want to. Most motherboard raids are fake raid and as such need windows drivers

Most on-board RAID controllers are not real RAID controllers, most off them implement part of the RAID necessities and try to fool the OS to some extent. Here is some more information on Linax and SATA Raid controllers: http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html

As RAID0 is just plain striping and should actually be called AID as it is not really RAID. You might consider adding the other disk to the LVM set and you should have your extra disk space. Here is some information in the wiki: http://wiki.contribs.org/AddExtraHardDisk, be sure to read the Talk page as well: http://wiki.contribs.org/Talk:AddExtraHardDisk
