Hi,
I have just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04LTS on new hardware. The operating system (/) and swap was placed on a 60GB SSD while two WD RE4 2TB drives were configured in RAID1 for /home.
When I restarted after installation, the system refused to boot and I got a blinking line. I restarted again and choose the first SATA disk which is one of the WD hard drives, the system booted as it should.
So, for some reason, the installation placed some boot files (GRUB?) on the SATA1 drive rather than the SSD where / is located.
SATA1 connector: HDD1 (software RAID1 with /home)
SATA2 connector: HDD2 (software RAID1 with /home)
SATA3 connector: SSD (with swap and /)
Why does this happen and what do I need to do in order for the system to boot from the SSD right away. Now, I manually have to go into bios and select the HDD. Off course, I don't want the boot to be dependent on one of the hard drives in the RAID setup.
