I have a GA-H97N-WIFI motherboard with a I7-4XXX CPU, 16GB of RAM and 2x 1TB SSDs. I am looking to install 24.04 Ubuntu server and using this for a RAID, docker and Plex server. I also want to RAID 1 these install drives since I feel the redundancy for my install is worth the extra cost, especially since I am going to do a 6-disk RAID 5 on a cluster that this install drive will control.
Ubuntu Version:
24.04 (ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso)
Desktop Environment (if applicable):
N/A
Problem Description:
I downloaded “ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso” and followed this install guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKMlRsEWRE
I got through the whole setup and most of the install, when it gets to GRUB then fails.
Relevant System Information:
See picture 2404-install-failure.jpg: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XOGFzbt8hppxunCTLKjBI1QP9eRW8gxB/view?usp=drive_link
Cannot find the error log on the USB drive installation, seems like it didn’t write it.
What I’ve Tried:
In my motherboard settings I disabled Secure Boot. See motherboard manual: https://download1.gigabyte.com/Files/Manual/mb_manual_ga-z97n(h97n)-(wifi)_e.pdf?v=c2cbdac4b010a7c8efefb56704b866c8
There is a video about disabling the setting in my BIOS version as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcopnoy6BKE
EDIT 1: I have also tried efi_no_storage_paranoia in the install without luck as well.
EDIT 2: I have placed some pictures of the errors I am getting, you can find everything in here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hSSx91xWUt4NyxpBDrLz8i0YX8QJsLPO?usp=sharing
EDIT 3: I successfully installed Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server on single disks without issue, just by pressing NEXT on everything and doing stock without RAID. I still want the redundancy.
Here is a picture of the settings from the installer for the RAID:

Here is the requiring /boot/efi setting that is auto populated when I make one of the SSDs as a boot device:

Thank you for looking at this issue!
