Ok guys. This is my second attempt at trying linux and I'm just about ready to give up.
I'm trying to complete a basic install of Ubuntu on a Tforce 7025 based system with a RAID1 array built with the nvidia raid utility. I've got the GUI install to see the array using the dmraid utility, and I had a root, swap, and home partition built. When I proceeded to install it told me one of these partitions was missing and put me back at the partition manager. I tried to fix whatever was wrong (it seemed like it was missing two of them for whatever reason). Well it didn't work so I came back to it another day. Well, I've deleted all of the partitions in an effort to start from scratch and now once I partition the root it tells me the rest of the array is unusable even though I haven't used it all. At this point I'm pretty frustrated as I haven't even gotten it installed yet. Starting to wonder if it's even worth it. Anyway, if anyone is able to help me get this on the right track I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
