Bug Description
I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 server that I am installed 8.10 server on. The server has an onboard Intel Cerca SATA RAID controller, and I have set up two drives in a mirror (RAID1).
During the install of 8.10, I was prompted to enable the SATA RAID, which I did, and the installation went fine. However, when I rebooted the system, Ubuntu failed to come up and placed me at the shell. The error I received was something like this
-Alert! /dev/mapper/
Then when I run the command 'dmraid -ay' at the prompt and exit out of the shell, Ubuntu comes up fine.
$ sudo fdisk -lu

Any ideas?

I am having the same issue at the moment. Running an apt-get upgrade to see if any of the updated modules takes care of this issue despite the fact that a number of RAID related modules have been updated.
