I am installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS on an IBM 3650 M2 with a hardware raid5 with three partitions:
sda1 /boot - 1 GB, ext3
sda2 lvm - 1 TB, ext4
sda3 swap - 24GB
During the GRUB installation, I get a message that the installer failed to load GRUB on a hard disk and get sent back to the installer menu.
Best Answer
Please provide more information about why the GRUB install failed.
It is hard to suggest possible solutions when no information is available about why GRUB failed to install. Would you please try the following:
/dev/sda2
)cat syslog | grep grub
(where
syslog
is the log file in/var/syslog
on/dev/sda2
)Is the GRUB install problem related to UEFI?
My understanding is that the IBM 3650 M2 uses a UEFI BIOS. Is your problem installing GRUB possibly related to this? If so, perhaps one of the following links may be helpful.
