** Description changed: - Upon installation of 10.04 64bit to the SAS drives. Ubuntu will not - boot. Trying 10.10 had the same problem. Also the 10.04 32 bit version - would not install either. + Upon installation of 10.04 32/64bit and 10.10 64bit, to the SAS drives, + Ubuntu boots into busybox. + + The following SAS controller is still not properly supported in Karmic, Lucid or Maverick: + LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS [1000:0058] (rev 08) + Module: mptsas + + We have tested the "rootdelay=60" boot option (tip found in one of the + similar bugs) which did not work. + + We have tested using the Maverick Daily from 23/07/2010 as well as + 2.6.35 RC6 from the mainline PPA. + + The symptom we are seeing is being booted into busybox when booting + Ubuntu from the SAS drive. Booting into recovery mode brings him to an + initramfs prompt. Booting from a SATA drive seems to works. The machine + which contains this controller (Dell Precision T7500) was sold with + RedHat, so perhaps they did some hardware enablement and there is a + patch out there we could be looking for.
