I am currently in the process of setting up an Ubuntu server but I ran into a few problems… after setting up RAID 0 (two 160GB drives) I tried to install Ubuntu server 18.04.3 LTS but it failed while Installing GRUB
I tried "use entire disk and setup LVM" (because I wasn't sure how to set up the partitions)
I tried "use entire disk" too
The error message:
"Unable to install GRUB in /dev/mapper/Server–Name–vg–root
Executing '/dev/mapper/Server–Name–vg-root' failed. This is a fatal error."
I am not sure what that means
I use BIOS …
My motherboard is: Intel Server Board S3420GPLX
I configured RAID in BIOS…
here are some screenshots from the installation: link
they include:
-
the installer asking me to enable mdadm RAID containers
-
the installer asking me to enable ATA RAID devices
-
which disks I can select
-
error message
(I am a newbie when it comes to Ubuntu and RAID…)
Edit:
I tried installing the Ubuntu desktop version of with LVM… and it worked … I have absolutely no idea why it won't install the server

I kind of fixed it because I thought I had to use the embedded RAID utility tool but I could just turn it off... maybe I will have a look at the software RAID
