This issue has reappeared in Ubuntu 11.10. Currently trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell R410 with a H700 megaraid_sas based storage.
The installer appears to think there is no storage available to the device however while the installer is asking for which module to use if you drop to a console it has detected the storage. The real issue appears to be with disk-detect as it does not seem to wait long enough for the older driver to provide access to the disks. Adding note to bug that is where the problem is. ** Also affects: hw-detect (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546091 Title: 10.04 Installer doesn't properly detect 9240 MegaRaid SAS Controlers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hw-detect/+bug/546091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
