I tried to install Arch on to my new desktop, together with Windows7, I should add I`ve done it on the RAID array +1 SSD disk and installed GRUB2 instead of grub1.
More precisely:
Using fake raid I`ve created RAID 0 array of 3 500GB disks. The Windows and the / directory of linux are on other disk, SSD 60GB Patriot inferno. The /swap /usr /home /tmp are on the RAID array. Everything went well, till the point where I was supposed to do this while installing grub2:
don`t remember the error, I`ve simply ommited the step and went on, suprisingly everything went well. Rebooted the system, the grub works, checked the Arch linux- not working. Error while checking Filesystems. The error:
Okay I thought, I`ll se to that later, first check if windows works. I run windows- once again some error, but I knew It could happen as I was not sure of the path I`ve given to the grub. I changed it, and everything went well. Okay I think, time to check the archlinux and see how I can fix the error. I run it and.... everything goes just fine? Wut? Well, I`m happy with that. I change root password and reboot system to create new partition for windows on unallocated space on RAID matrix. Reboot, back to arch (wanted to install GPU). The system halts at "::Starting udev". After 5min I get bored, reboot. Try to launch arch- but once again the error I had at the very beginning (Filesystem check failed). And again.
Additional info about hardware:
Motherboard Asus M4A87TD EVO
3x 500GB HDD working on fake RAID 0
1x SSD 60GB
About partitions:
Just a note- Windows sees all partitions (including linux ones)
/dev/sda1 windows
/dev/sda2 windows
/dev/sda3 linux root directory
/dev/mapper/pdc_dbfejaidd1 swap
/dev/mapper/pdc_dbfejaidd5 usr
/dev/mapper/pdc_dbfejaidd6 tmp
/dev/mapper/pdc_dbfejaidd3 home
all linux partitions should be ext4 (it`s possible i`ve pressed accidentally and selected other partition but well, chances are small)
the grub Archlinux boot info
[edit]
Okaay so Sth happened. I rebooted the system, logged in to windows, removed the partition I added, rebooted, run linux- everythings fine. The problem is, after once again rebooting, the bios raid utility was scanning for drives longer than before, and after this arch once again didn`t want to boot. This time it simply halts at waiting for UDev events to be processed (while BUSY).
Then, The great return of "Filesystem Check Failed!" The only thing I did this time was launch windows and entering the partitioning tool without changing anything. No idea what`s wrong. I again rebooted the system- everything works fine... Once again reboot - Filesystem check failed. No idea what`s going on.
I`d be grateful for any help.
