There is a quite simple workaround. You need to insmod 3w-sas.ko just after installation starts. To to this: 1. Download linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic 2. Extract 3w-sas.ko from the linux image package 3. Download ubuntu server 11.04 64-bit 4. Use, for example, IsoMaster tool to add 3w-sas.ko file to ubuntu iso image so it still be bootable. 5. Start installation process, but stop as soon as you see the language selection screen. 6. Switch to console: Ctrl+Alt+F2 7. Mount cd-rom: "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt" or something like that. 8. Create some folder, like /3ware, and copy the driver to it. 9. Unmount cdrom - won't be needed anymore. 10. insmod 3w-sas.ko 11. Continue your installation like there was no bug at all :)
Another approach is to download the "3w-sas.ko" file after configuring the network. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776542 Title: 3w-sas driver missing in natty installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/776542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
