** Description changed: 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 + + The machine was purchased from Dell with Red Hat 5.3 64bit preinstalled. 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. The BIOS version is A05, the - latest. + initramfs prompt. Booting from a SATA drive seems to works. The BIOS + version is A05, the latest. Similar bugs seem to confirm the issue with this controller: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474207 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579572 We went through the following after installing Lucid 64-bit: 1) Boot from LiveCD 2) Mount drive with installation 3) Mount proc dev and sys $ sudo -s # mount -o bind /proc /media/external_drive/proc # mount -o bind /dev /media/external_drive/dev # mount -o bind /sys /media/external_drive/sys 4) chroot into the external drive # chroot /media/external_drive/ 5) upgrade your system # sudo apt-get -y update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade 6) (Optional) - Just to play it safe, we tried the latest kernel available to see if the issue was fixed. # mkdir linux-2.6.35 # cd linux-2.6.35 # wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc6-maverick/linux-headers-2.6.35-020635rc6-generic_2.6.35-020635rc6_amd64.deb # wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc6-maverick/linux-image-2.6.35-020635rc6-generic_2.6.35-020635rc6_amd64.deb # wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc6-maverick/linux-headers-2.6.35-020635rc6_2.6.35-020635rc6_all.deb # dpkg -i linux*.deb; dpkg -i linux*.deb; dpkg -i linux*.deb ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic 2.6.32-24.38 Regression: No Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-24.38-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
