 Comments/Problems:
 IBM serveraid 8i not detected.  Suspect ips.ko is too old.
 These serveraid cards are rather popular now, the 8 series support SAS
 and SATA disk.

Why ips.ko? The kernel lists aacraid as the correct driver for the Adaptec 
AAC-RAID controller.

We expect to have a 2.6.18 based installer available some time next week 
using the daily built images. It would be great if you could try again 
with that.

Cheers,

Bug#399956: installation-reports etch RC1 and serveraid 8i

2006-11-23 Thread Martin Foster
Thanks, I noticed the ips vs aacraid thing after filing the bug.  Been 
using ServerRAID 7 and 4 series for too long. However, aacraid was 
loaded on the current Etch RC1 2.6.17 kernel.


Will try again when the 2.6.18 kernel when it becomes available.  
Documentation/scsi/aacraid.txt has it listed


 9005:0285:9005:0290 IBM ServeRAID 7t (Jaguar)
 9005:0285:1014:02F2 IBM ServeRAID 8i (AvonPark)
 9005:0285:1014:0312 IBM ServeRAID 8i (AvonParkLite)
 9005:0286:1014:9580 IBM ServeRAID 8k/8k-l8 (Aurora)
 9005:0286:1014:9540 IBM ServeRAID 8k/8k-l4 (AuroraLite)

Cheers!
