DFI Ultra-D
74 GB raptor as OS drive broken down to:
32 GB ntfs for XP
~15 as XFS for /
~27 as XFS for /home
Windows XP problem:
The stupid sound is always muted when I boot up. It's a simple matter of unchecking the "mute all" button in the windows volume control, but how to I change this from happening on boot? It actually starts up with sound, but then windows mutes itself halfway through the start up chime thing.
Ubuntu problem:
I had gentoo on before no problem. Now I'm trying ubuntu. The install goes fine up to the bootloader part. My raptor shows up as /dev/sda with / being /dev/sda3, however the ubuntu installer wants to install the bootloader to the mbr on /dev/sdd. Okay, so I unplugged my other hard drives, and it still wants to install to the mbr on /dev/sdb... but all my hard drives except the raptor are now unplugged. So I allowed the installer to try to write lilo to /dev/sda3 but got a fatal error. I also tried manually putting in /dev/sda for the location, but that failed as well. Tried both lilo and grub. Both fail. Any advice?
