Debian Installation :: Won't Recognize HDD - NO SAS Controller
Aug 2, 2010
Recently we bought a server machine in purpose of hosting game servers.Debian is the optimal choice for us but we have a huge problem.We have 2 x HDD Fujitsu MBA3300RC, 300GB, 15000rpm, 16MB [MBA3300RC] , but NO SAS-controller , so standard Debian DVD1 didn't recognized our HDD's during installation.Is there any way to install Debian on our machine without haveing to buy a SAS-controller? answer in "step-by-step" method, i am not very experimentated in linux.

I upgraded F14 to F15; However, F15 no longer recognizes my 3 sata disks connected through Marvell controller. The controller is an integrated Marvell chipset 88SE6480. The controller has its own manufacturer driver but it was intended for RHEL 5.4 (mv64xx) and installation of this driver fails to generate mv64xx driver.

Sometimes the linux install CD does not recognize the disk controller
I am asking is there a way to customize the disk and add such driver
if yes :
what files from the driver to put and where to do that?

I just bought a new server with one of the most recent v3 Intel processors (socket LGA1150). The board (Supermicro X10SLM-F) uses the new Intel NICs (i217LM + i210AT), not supported by the current Debian stable release. Hence, the ethernet adapter is not recognized during the installation process.
I would like to be able to install something as close to stable as possible in a production server such as this one.

I have DL120 Proliant server that has a P212 raid card, if I install Lenny it works fine however I need squeeze. If I upgrade or install a new version of squeeze the raid controller is no longer visible. I have done some snoopping and it seems as though the ciss drivers have been replaced by the hpsa drivers but I still cant seem to get the raid card recognised any body got any tips ?

I have had a Supermicro X7DCL-3 motherboard based machine, running CentOS 5.2 x86_64, recently upgraded to 5.3.Strangely enough, although I must have installed the 5.2 using DVD disk, the running system does not show the DVD drive. The machine was not used very much so I noticed that only today, after the update. There is no trace of it in 'dmesg', thera are no /dev/cd* and/or /dev/dvd* devices. The IDE controller is IT8213 (as shown by 'lspci'). In 5.2 kernel (2.6.18-92.el5-x86_64) lspci says "unknown device". I have checked the /usr/src/kernels/*/.config files and both kernels (5.2 and 2.6.18-128.el5-x86_64 of 5.3) seam to have the support for that controller added into the kernel:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IT821X=yAny idea why it is not working? The Supermicro has apparently noticed this also as their OS compatibility chart lists the IDE interface for that motherboard as supported up to RHEL 5.1 but not for 5.2.

I recently installed Debian using the net install file through USB on my Lenovo z510 laptop. It did not recognize my internet so I continued my installation without it and ended up with a bare bones command prompt version of Debian. So to uninstall it I just deleted the partition and took up the space with Windows 10. So now when I boot into the boot list(uefi) I still see Debian listed, and when I boot into it I see grub-rescue command prompt. Now I downloaded the live Debian ISO and used pendrivelinux to put it on. When I look in my boot list the USB does not appear and USB booting is on + Secure boot is off. What should I do to fix this mess? In the end I want Debian dual-booted with windows 10 with Debian being with the GNOME 3.x desktop environment.

I am a rookie to both Debian and Linux. There is a need of Debian so I just started my experience with the Linux system.
I have installed the Debian squeeze testing version and since when I installed the system it didn't recognize my ethernet card, I could only install what is in the installation CD1. Now I have a nice looking Debian system but very simple with a lot of necessary packages or whatever missing (I don't even have the update manager). Is there some way that I could launch an automatic installation of content in the rest CDs from internet?

Debian 8 "Jessie"
AMD CPU
EFI motherboard
System was working reliably. Moved components into a new case. Now system will not boot. Either gives error that the disk is not bootable or displays the motherboard configuration screen.
I am able to boot Debian with a USB drive and have attempted fixes in "rescue mode".
I confirmed that the system is booting to EFI mode.
I have tried re-installing the grub-efi package and re-creating the Grub config file with update-grub.
When re-installing Grub I receive "Discarding improperly nested partition ..." warnings but the installation succeeds. I have searched this warning message and the forums seem to say that it can be ignored.
I have tried re-setting the motherboard NVRAM using the jumper block.
The computer shows "debian" as a boot choice in addition to the usual raw drive model listing. However, neither of the choices will boot successfully.

I have /dev/sda with Squeeze and Win 7 on it, and /dev/sdb with Squeeze. I've managed to get Grub 2 to boot from /dev/sdb1, but only by disabling /dev/sda from being a boot option in the BIOS. When it is available to boot, and lower priority than /dev/sdb, grub does not recognize the UUIds of the disks. So, I've disabled it for now and can boot from /dev/sdb no problems. Trouble is I cannot get Win7 to boot. Grub prints:
error: no such device: f0903a3a903a081c
error: invalid signature
When I boot into Squeeze and run 'blkid' I can see that:
/dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="F0903A3A903A081C" TYPE="ntfs"
The Grub entry for Win 7 is:
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" {
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set f0903a3a903a081c
chainloader +1
}
I don't understand how Grub 2 cannot recognize the UUIds. Can Grub 2 to be made to work with volume labels or just plain old /dev/... descriptions? Maybe I should give grub-legacy a go.

I am currently trying to install Debian Wheezy 7.6 x86_64 on an Intel Server System R2224GZ4GC4, but the Installer doesn’t recognise any of the devices attached to the onboard SATA controller.
Debian Version
Debian Wheezy 7.6 x86_64
Hardware used
Server: Intel Server System R2224GZ4GC4
Motherboard: Intel S2600GZ4
Onboard SATA Controller: Intel Patsburg 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit (rev 06)
Device on Port 0: Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD
Device on Port 1: Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD
Device on Port 2: Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD
Device on Port 3: Intel 510 Series SSD
While the onboard SATA controller does support so-called “fake RAID,” this ‘feature’ has been disabled (i.e., the BIOS setting “SAS/SATA Capable Controller” is set to “INTEL(R) RSTe”). This is confirmed by the controller during the boot-up URL...Weirdly enough, the Intel 510 Series SSD contains an old system (Debian Squeeze 6.0, Kernel 2.6.35-5-amd64), which can boot and which does recognise all SSDs.
Remedies tried
* I’ve compiled the list of SCSI, SAS and block device related modules that the Squeeze-System, which recognises the SSDs, used and manually loaded these modules during the install process.* I’ve tried to rescan the SCSI bus by:
Code: Select allfor host in /sys/class/scsi_host/*; do echo "- - -" > $host/scan; done* I’ve tried to remove all disks, save for the Intel 510 Serives SSD.* I’ve tried all of the above combined.

I can not get the node or cloud controllers to startup using the init.d scripts. I have a fresh install of CentOS 5.4 with Eucalyptus 1.6.2 I have compiled Eucalyptus and all packages using the RPM supplied from Eucalyptus and utilizing yum installer. I do not currently have any processes or applications listening currently on the ports on the boxes as well. I think it may be a permissions issue or something because I get a "permission denied error", but I am not sure if it is Eucalyptus or CentOS. It looks as if it is not binding to the address on the interface of the NIC. It may be something else however. I have the Node controller, Cloud controller, and Cluster controller on seperate physical boxes. When I try to run either the cloud controller or the node controller I get this message:
Cloud Controller:

Basically i want it so that the analogue stick on my PS2 controller, which connects via a USB adaptor and is recognized, correctly controls in game characters. It seems to work fine enough in platformers, at least it does with Banjo Kazooie, but with games like perfect Dark it seem to be trying to move forward and look down at the same time, also backward and look up simultaneously and look sideways and move sideways simultaneously , rendering the game all but unplayable.
I have tried running jscal and, apart from the fact that it seems a bit beyond me, it reports "jscal: missing devicename" when i try to run "jscal -c". Do others out there have there analogue sticks working correctly with games like Perfect Dark, or the James Bond games, for example?

I've bought a small embedded controller running with a minimized Lenny for armel. Minimized in a way that there is even no apt-get or dpkg installed on it, due to keep the memory footprint as small as possible.Is there a way to keep a "shadow" system in a directory on my Laptop (e.g. ~/armel), maintained with dependencies by a package manager like apt-get? This would allow to install addition packages including all dependent with a simple apt-get call.Of course, later I have to put the whole tree from my Laptop towards my embedded controller. I've already tried the following:Setup a directory tree behind ~/armel for apt by a copy from my laptops Lenny
"sudo apt-get -o DIR=~/armel -o APT::Architecture=armel update"
to get the repositories, this works fine
"sudo apt-get -o DIR=~/armel -o APT::Architecture=armel -d -f install"
to download the full list of .deb packages, this works fine

It is possible to use the sixaxis as a joystick. But how?
For a year and a half I've been trying to get sixaxis working on ubuntu, and there appear to be even less options on debian.
While this page suggests there is kernel support, usbmon doesn't show any packages coming down the line at all (But lsusb does recognize the device)
So how do I get debian to recognize the sixaxis?

Does Debian have any particular tools or nuances for installing new hardware? I saw some stuff on Ubuntu which is related... but you know.
The dmesg file shows that it's being recognized, but I don't think it's actually being used (i.e. there is no driver installed). This is what's in the dmesg file:
Code:
[ 1.384634] Block layer SCSI generic (bsg) driver version 0.4 loaded (major 253)
[ 1.855496] SCSI subsystem initialized
[ 5.146598] scsi0 : ioc0: LSI53C1020A A1, FwRev=01032700h, Ports=1, MaxQ=255, IRQ=16
[Code]....
Unless someone has already compiled a driver for Debian Lenny for this hardware, I'm going to have to compile my own I guess. The driver package seems to come with something called mptlinux-4.00.43.00-src.tar.gz which I'm guessing can be compiled for any Linux, but looking at the instructions, it's pretty much beyond me how to get started. It talks about using kernel source to build a module and such and such.

At the school i work in i have a server2k3 server that provides a domain to all the windows clients, aswell as a fedora server that acts as an imaging machine and webserver.
Im rather concious of the fact that if for any reason the Server2k3 server was to die there is no backup of active directory, or anything that can take its place whilst a replacement is found.
So is it possible to use a fedora machine with samba as a secondary domain controller? so it can be used as a login server, and has a copy of AD.

Can Debian act as a Windows Domain Controller? I'm just curious because my boss recently tossed out some old servers and I grabbed them. They're good machines but I can't afford to pay $1000 for Server 2003 R2 just to setup a domain at my place and run Endpoint Protection and such. I've never used a domain setup in Linux before so I thought I'd ask and possibly try to, if Debian/Linux is capable of such a thing.

I have been having trouble installing a working Debian 6.0.1a (Squeeze) desktop; I cannot seem to get Xwindoes working (under KDE). Is it possible that my video monitor is simply incompatible with Squeeze? I am using an old but not ancient Samsung SyncMaster 997DF with PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Output of lspci -nn | grep VGA is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter [1039:6330]
When I compared the contents of /usr/lib/xorg/modules and output of kdm.log between my working (but no longer trusted) Lenny and my nonworking Squeeze, I found that the driver sis_drv.so seems to be loaded by my Lenny but not by my Squeeze, and someone said that Squeeze uses a new version of Xorg which is incompatible with SIS. If so, does that mean that I need to get a new monitor? A new motherboard with video controller? I never had a video card--- do I need one to use Squeeze with KDE?....

I have a computer and I need to know whether its Sata-controller supports hotplugging. Therefore I (think I) need to know which Sata-controller is used in my computer. Can anyone tell me how I can find that piece of info?
ps. Some info on the environment: It is running an AMD Geode processor which only support IDE and therefore the board has a Pata to Sata converter build in. When I do 'lspci' it only shows the IDE connection:

I've been trying for probably 10 hours now to get the bcm4306 driver working on Debian. I finally got it installed using ndiswrapper... However, now ndiswrapper says that the hardware is not present! When I run lspci, though, it lists BCM4306 as the network controller. What is going on, and how do I fix it? It's on a Dell latitude D600.

I've bought a HP Photosmart printer, HP Photosmart wireless e-All-in-One printer - B110a and i've got a problem installing it properly. I'm using Debian 6.0 Squeeze. When i connect the printer, Debian doesn't recognize my printer as the Photosmart B109 printer for unknown reason. When i go to the site of HP and search for a driver, it directs me to this site:I've downloaded that latest hplip file as a .run file and installed it. My printer is recognized proparly, but when i try to print a colored image, it comes out black/white. Something is not crrect. Does anyone recognize this problem with this type HP printer?

I have a very weird problem with a HP DL180 G6 server that uses this controller.
The server has 4 SSDs configured as separate logical devices (no hardware RAID). I can install Wheezy just fine (creating a software RAID1 from sda and sdb). I installed zfs on it and installed a Windows 2008 VM on kvm with the disk image stored on zfs. The entire server froze when Windows was installing updates.
I rebooted and everything worked again, this time I launched iostat -x 2 on a separate ssh session, here's whet I saw after the server froze again:
Code: Select allavg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
0.25 0.00 0.19 20.83 0.00 78.74
Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sda 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 7.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00
sdb 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 7.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00
[Code] ....
Thinking that zfs might be causing this, I destroyed the zpool, configured software raid on sdc and sdd, created a volume group and stored the image on a logical volume. The problem happened again.
I opened a ticket with the support of the company that provides the server and they updates the firmware of the controller. Now the server no longer froze while installing Windows updates, with lvm or zfs, so I went back to zfs.
Wanting to be sure, I launched iometer on the windows VM and set it to "4KB, 75% read 100% random" access pattern over 5GB of the Windows drive. The server froze after 7 hours.
I told the company that, and they replaced the SSDs with ones of a different model. I ran the test again and the server froze again, this time after 9 hours. I asked the company to replace the whole server. They did it (but kept the SSDs), I ran the test again and the server froze again, this time after 20 hours.
Now, this is starting to look like some kind of incompatibility between the HP controller and Debian rather than a problem with the controller. The settings are all default. It looks like the entire controller freezes because the system drives (sda, sdb) also show 100% busy despite not being under test from iometer.

I recently assembled a Dell T5400 workstation. I'm getting some strange issues with this machine concerning fan controller.
-Only 2/4 motherboard fans are detected. All fans have RPM signal
-The only sensors that are reporting temperatures are for the memory modules,graphic card and disk but not from my Intel CPU's. This chip reports memory module temperatures as they tend to get pretty hot (DDR2-FBDIMM).
-Every time a fan speed gets reported with sensors command the bus freezes for a moment. Videos playback and audio chops for a moment and continue normally.
After removing module dell_smm_hwmon the sensors command executed without interrupting multimedia flow but no fan speeds were reported also.
As a temp solution I blacklisted the dell_smm_hwmon module and I solved the high fan noise problems and the bus freeze.
As it turns out i8k module for fan control is very buggy for some DELL models. Can I manually configure it somehow to work?
So to sum up the problems my problems are:
No CPU temperatures reporting. 2 Fans Speed and PWM controller info missing, and freezing the bus when probing to get speeds from those identified (dell_smm_hwmon module issues).
The object is to get fancontrol working in my setup.
I run debian testing with kernel 4.2.0-1-amd64.
