OK, so I'm one hacked off bunny at the minute.
I've just acquired a GA-EP35-DS3L for use in my server, but no matter what I do, I can't get this board to play nice.
This is what I've tried so far:
1. Original install was Grub legacy, everything OS related living on a single IDE drive. (First in the boot order)
2. Plugged in all drives and turned on- Grub error 21. Fair enough, I loaded up Grub rescue disk, and attempted to reinstall; Drive numbers change.....
3. Grub rescue can find no trace of my disks, and keeps complaining of invalid partition tables.
4. Mildly annoyed, load up SuperGrub2 to install Grub2- Doesn't like the drives either.
5. Decide to do a reinstall with Ubuntu. This finds all drives and partitions exactly where they're supposed to be- Sucess?
No, all appears well until reboot, when I get a UUID not found error.
6. Reboot into Ubuntu rescue, and attempt a manual bootloader install. The kernel sees all the drives just fine again, but attempting a manual Grub install shows it can't actually find the drives properly. All it gives is "error physical volume pv0 not found" errors.
Apologies for another long hellppppp post, but I'm stumped. All I can think of at the moment is that Grub of any description doesn't like the Jmicron IDE controller, but how to fix it, I don't know.....
Anyone have any ideas?
