I have an old IBM e Server that I use here for web-hosting/Email and I
decided to bite the bullet and upgrade it to karmic ahead of the
official release!

The first major issue I had was that the generic Kernel, it failed to
recognise the AIC-7892P U160/m ServeRAID Controller, hence leaving me
with a non boot system!

After a few select swear words I managed to get it working by including
into the grub options 'pci=noacpi' and the ServeRAID Controller was
discovered!

So is it a consensus that ubuntu server is moving away from older
hardware compatibility in favour of higher end server platforms?
