Well, as I posted yesterday, my install of Ubuntu went slightly pear shaped. It installed to only one disc of a RAID 1 array, caused zero functionality of my drives, I couldn't boot to either XP or Ubuntu. In fact the only OS I had was the Ubuntu CD!!

Fortunately, I had the RAID 1 drives from my dismantled Shuttle lying around so I popped them in and changed the GFX card drivers and I'm back with an OS.

The good news, is I found 2 partially completed CPU WU's (with decent PPD too) on these spare drives, so I am going to finish them off before I try to install SUSE Linux which I think has RAID 1 support during install. Infact, I have also rescued the partially completed GPU and CPU WU's from the Ubuntu sabotaged drives and shall finish them too.

It is funny today, yesterday it wasn't funny.:)
 
the first time i tried to load ubuntu onto my raptor it didn't like it (no dirve available), so I swaped all my disks around and loaded it onto a WD IDE instead (as primary boot via bios) - which worked fine (but I was still having problems)
Anyway cut a long story short - I uninstalled everything and reinstalled via an iso on my raptor - and it installed like a dream onto it (my 7 OS install at this point)
Had major problems with getting fahmon working (but Uncle F helped me out their) and I killed it dead trying to update to FF.

bottom line - if at first you don't succeed - try again regardless :D
when working - don't do anything to it - if you want to play with ubuntu set up another virtual machine get it how you like it and load finstall to see if it works if not no worries, your still folding at 2k ppd on the other one, if it does your laughing :cool:

I can verify this :D

If it aint broke, leave it alone and just let it fold! :D :D
 
I downloaded OpenSuse today, all 3.3Gb of it, apparently it supports RAID on installation.

Sometime tomorrow I will try to install it.
