I wanna use dual boot and I have a raid. but it's not being recognized
the ssds with the raid are recigonized but the Raid itself isnt. I have a Windows Installed and shrinked the system partition to make some room

Of all things I didn't think this would become an issue 😭
what do you mean not recognized?
The Installation program sees both individual hard drives with 0 bytes free...
But the virtual device that would be the raid wasn't there... I have 2 Kingston nvme ssds in a raid 0 and one HDD ... And it's only seeing the HDD and the Individal 2 nvmes
There you see the 3 hard drives mentioned but not the raid
I can manually add a special hard drive but it's asking me for hardware IDs and paths and I haven't designed enough Mainboards in my life to know this 😬
The thing I'm confused about is that even if there was a driver for it for Linux... I didn't see a way to import it
I mean there obviously isn't but still
https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B650M-HDVM.2/ this is my mainboard

i gotta say... dispite it having asrock written on it ... so far its been solid
i don't think paths refer to anything special i think they refer to regular old filesystem paths
there is an option to choose controller and then give an id
or prodive UUIDs and what not
im pretty sure its hardware stuff 😅
efi shit
let's check something
press ctrl + alt + f2
i think that brings you to a shell
while in the installer from bazzite ?
yeah
Give me one second I booted win again to check drivers 😅
I since the expert raid 2 shit is in the and chipset I found somethings about that in Google how to use it with Linux
👍
what does
lsblk say??
Made a better picture with clean lens 👉 👈
you type lsblk & hit enter
The raid 0 is obviously close to 2000gbs.... Which is not listed
strange i didn't expect hardware raid to be a problem
Me neither 🤣
I mean again the controller is in the b650 chipset from and
Amd
As far as I understood it
i know the dynamic disk stuff Windows does doesn't work
but wasn't expecting hardware raid to not work
Ya I mean I think windows needed a driver as well to see it
for the most part Linux just has whatever driver
what about
lspci?I mean the b650 chipset isn't new but isn't old either so ya I thought it would work too
Hmm
0D:00.0
Close to the bottom it sees a non volatile raid controller thingi
Doing all of that with my phone is crazy 🤣
Maybe this is already the id we need ?
possibly
lspci -o
shows more infoDoesn't exist ?
There is a verbose option
my bad it's
-kIt overflows the screen but I think there is something interesting
it shows what if any kernel driver(module) is yused for the device
lspci -k | less
should give you a pager
so it doesn't overflow
& you can scrollI don't think its needed but thanks
My Internet just went really bad somehow or discord is having trouble
is there any module in use for the devuce?
hmm i see 2 of those controllers & both are using the regular old NVME driver
Well under the raid device it's saying Subsystem asmedia technology inc. Device 1062
Kernel driver in use nvme
Kernel modules: nvme
Somehow my ISP is having trouble my phone as well as my dsl are both down they are from the same ISP but I don't think they should be related sorry if answers are slow I'll see if I can send pictures 🙄
?
Which doesn't sound terrible for me
Ok my DSL seems to be back
i don't think i know enough to help here
That's fine thank you anyway those commands at least showed that the device is there
For reference
2 of them & both have a driver assigned
so both should be seen
i got another idea
https://drivers.amd.com/relnotes/amd_raid_quick_start_guide_for_ubuntu_operating_system-rev_0_5_1.pdf there is a document that outlines the process on ubuntu
again in bazzite do
ls /dev/disk/by-id/
& see if it appears thereIt's hard to tell
Wdc is the HDD
Then there is the 2 nvmes Kingston
After is a device nvme-eui ??? That might be it
I think the raid controller is set to acsi or what it's called ahci or something like that
yes notice one of the kingston one has
part1 at the ebd
that's partition 1 of the kingston driveSry I'm not quite understanding
The Kingstoms shouldn't have partitions since they are striped
well it has 1
Then that should be weirdness done by the raid controller
I mean I've gone back and forth between the installer and windows so it's still a functioning raid I'm certain of that 🤣
lte's check out the scsi drive
run
cfdisk /dev/disk/by-id/scsu- & then hit tab
it should complete the name
after that hit enter
should show you the partitions on the deviceHuh ?
let's see if it matches what Windows shows
oh cfdisk isn't installed
on there
i think fdisk is though
It is
i don't remember how to use fdisk by heart though
And it's an American keyboard so it's a struggle to find some symbols too 🤣
i think hitting
p % enter should show you the partitions
That doesn't seem to be it
I tried to open the nvme-eui and it said no file or directory
Finally I found it
yeah me too am somewhat confuzzled
maybe somebody else can use the info we collected here to help
I hope so too
I wanted to check I though it said something about the device type but I didn't find anything
see the PCI ID & device PCI ID here
well these should match the ones shown by lspci
Yes well there is an other thing I wanted to check maybe you know about that
This sounds like it would be the thing
it does
It looks like it would be the thing to do it with but it doesn't do anything
It's almost like there is no search button and enter does nothing it never looks like anything is happening
I'm all the tabs all the lists and drop downs are empty
never really done hardware raid
all i know is AMD supports Linux pretty well
It does btw match with the lapci id
Even crazier I noticed I can select multiple hard drives from the list and check that I wanna have a UI for it later and when I confirmed it crashed the installer
yeeeeah
this installer kinda sucks
fedora will eventually get a new one though
😅 well I hope someone has some arcane knowledge about that kind of stuff and can give me a solution to this I'm getting really tired of windows 🤣
i think bazzite has a different(live) ISO with a different installer
you might have better luck with that one
Can I install the live iso as well ?
Might be worth a try
yeah you can install bazzite using the Live ISO
it has a new installer
kess confusing & hopefully better than this one
I have heard of hardware raid causing some issues with dual booting, good luck
😭
