In contrast, Mandriva 2007 Free and Knoppix 4 & 5 all work properly with the SCSI controller and disks. This has been a problem with both Ubuntu and Debian for the past 2 years (Dapper, Edgy, Feisty; SID, and pre-SID unstable). Mandriva has worked with this card and drives since at least Mandrake 9.0. But since moving to Ubun= tu on other boxes, I'm very eager to move this box to Ubuntu too. SuSE's 10.x Live CD also fails to see these drives properly. >From what I've been able to research, other reports point to the BusLogic module only working correctly when it's built into the kernel, rather than being loaded as a loadable external module. As provided with Ubuntu, the SCSI bus seems to be reset at least twice by the kernel during startup, and I'm not sure I see this with Mandriva or Knoppix. Attached is a screenshot of the KDE Control Center's Disk & Filesystem settings that shows the 2 18Gb SCSI disks, MAG3182MP and DNES-318350W, are detected by Ubuntu. They are seen as sdb and sdc. These disks have partitions in common formats, but Ubuntu kernel can't see them. "cfdisk /dev/sdb" and QTparted (and Gparted) are unable to operate on the disks for formatting or partitioning in any way. This is not a sudo issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers edgy-updates APT policy: (500, 'edgy-updates'), (500, 'edgy-security'), (500, 'edgy') Architecture: i386 (x86) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-10-generic Locale: LANG=3DC, LC_CTYPE=3DC (charmap=3DANSI_X3.4-1968) ** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- = linux-image: SCSI drives inaccessible to parted or any installation tool (Original message truncated) -- linux-image: SCSI drives inaccessible to parted or any installation tool https://launchpad.net/bugs/83068 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
