Three solutions for running Linux on your new server: 1. Install another linuxdistribution from a leading vendor ;) 2. Sell the server on ebay and buy another with support for Ubuntu. 3. Do like this:
1. Boot from the installcd 2. Go to one of the console (alt+f2) 3. Insert USB key with driver on it. (mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt --> or something like that) 4. Copy the required driver to /tmp (otherwise the usb i /dev/sda which is where we want the disks from the RAID card) 5. Unmount the USB key6 6. insmod the mpt2sas driver from /tmp 7. Go into the install menu and detect the disks again. 9. After install replace the generic kernel with the server kernel The driver can be found in the generic kernel. I did install a virtual machine and then installed the generic kernel to it (afterwards) so I could get my hands on the mpt2sas driver. -- Support for DELL H200/H700/H800 SAS cards is missing in the CD/DVD installer for Lucid (mpt2sas) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
