FC7 took an eternity to install (over 5 hours) and although I can't be sure (no logs that I could find from the install process), I suspect it was struggling with the same disk "freeze" problems that I've been experiencing under Ubuntu. When it finally finished installing, I rebooted, and it Kernel oops'd because it couldn't bring the raid array online - another hint that it was having big problems with the disks.
At this point I gave up and went to Windows. Which works flawlessly - or at least it does so far ... I'm still throwing files around, but it's certainly looking like the hardware is fine, but that there is a problem somewhere in the Linux support for it. I think I'm out of options on how to move this forward myself now. I need some help please, as I really don't want to have to build this server around Windows! :-) -- Port slow to respond on SiI3512 with sata_sil https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159521 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
