[Bug 46510] Re: At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata
Newer initramfs-tools no longer hardcodes list of modules, thus aic94xx is inside of a generated initramfs. This is fixed from maverick on. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46510 Title: At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 46510] Re: At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata
I encounter a strange problem with dapper here. I installed a Debian Sarge with loading a precompiled binary of the driver provided by one of the grml folks. This went fine. Then I read the comment from Mark that dapper has the drivers. I gave it a try: Booted up the 6.06.1 LTS Server CD, switched to console, made sure that the driver was loaded, switched back, fired up partman and and the screen blanks. Switching to the debug output, I see partman complaining that there were no volume groups found.

On dapper (6.06.1 LTS) the method outlined in the previous comment can also be used. However the file to be modified is /etc/mkinitramfs/modules Here is the procedure when using the Alternate CD After the install has completed and ejected the CD #chroot /target #mount /boot edit /etc/mkinitramfs/modules or /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add a line containing "aic94xx" #update-initramfs -u -k all -- At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata https://launchpad.net/bugs/46510 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 46510] Re: At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata
I just installed edgy on a IBM xseries 206m, had the same problem, after installing it couldn't boot because it was not able to load the drivers. I wasted almost a 2 days reading different ways to solve it from debian tutorials, none of those worked. The real solution took less than 15 minutes and would have save me from quite a headache. Probably someone with experience read this bug description and understood the way to solve it, but since I read this over and over and could find an exit, here is the way to solve the problem: After installing edgy or dapper from the live cd, don't reboot. Keep working with the live CD. Open a terminal and create a directory to mount the just installed system and chroot to that directory example: #sudo -s #mkdir /media/linux_206m #mount /dev/sda1 /media/linux_206m #chroot /media/linux_206m (Assuming that sda1 is the partition where ubuntu is installed.) Once you get there just edit this file: /etc/initramfs-tools/modules Add a new line at the end of the file and write aic94xx Close the file and execute this command: update-initramfs -u -k all Wait till it finish and problem solved, remove the live cd, reboot and it should recognize the adaptec card and boot normally, no need to modify the kernel, recompile, download anything or use extra tools. Hope it helps someone. -- At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata https://launchpad.net/bugs/46510 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions::auto_add_modules() does not reference aci94xx at all, therefore it's not added to the initramfs thereby causing this bug report's symptom. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: linux-source-2.6.15 => initramfs-tools -- At boot doesn't recognize aic9405 controller sas/sata https://launchpad.net/bugs/46510 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can someone merge 53138 that I filed into this one; it just looks like the driver doesn't get put into the initrd; the driver in the kernel works fine for me.
