Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 / 10.04 / 9.10 - Does Not Detect Dual SCSI Controller
Oct 22, 2010
I have a Dell PE 600 box with 2 Adaptec 2110s U160 Single Channel RAID controller supported 6 HDDs.I am trying to install Ubuntu from a mini ISO - tried server / desktop / alternate as well. And also different Ubuntu versions.The mini installer runs upto setting the time zone (after configuring for DHCP et.al.) and then on the screen 'Detecting Disks and Other Hardware' hangs up.Now I am assuming its because of the fact that I have 2 of the above controllers - as I have another similar box with only 1 of the controllers and it installs/boots fine with no problems.Look forward to you suggestions/help and if there is any other info I can provide. I plan to set up Ubuntu 10.10 server on it. Btw I don't think its a Linux problem as SUSE 11.3 installs fine on the box.

i m facing same error in most of the HCL servers. the problem is that it throws error while booting and sometimes not throws error. the error is :-
Feb 13 13:17:25 fe13s kernel: Adapter 0: Bus A: The SCSI controller was reset due to SCSI BUS noise or an invalid signal. Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc.
Feb 13 13:17:30 fe13s kernel: Adapter 0: Bus B: The SCSI controller successfully recovered from a SCSI BUS issue. The issue may still be present on the BUS. Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc
Feb 13 13:29:15 fe13s kernel: Adapter 0: Bus B: The SCSI controller successfully recovered from a SCSI BUS issue. The issue may still be present on the BUS. Check cables, termination, termpower, LVDS operation, etc

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.

Using 9.10 in dual-boot with XP:
Dell 600SC running an Adaptec 39160 dual channel SCSI controller which has 2 disks connected to it. The machine also has 2 IDE drives connected to it. The boot order of the disks is set to the SCSI disks as the first in boot order (after CD).
I am trying to set it to maximize performance from the SCSI config so I have XP on the first SCSI and I set up Ub 9.1 on the second SCSI in a dual-boot configuration.
In this set up the machine when rebooting goes straight to XP (on the first SCSI) and does not even see the Ub installation. The installation went fine and no complaints. On the same machine if I just had Ub on the first SCSI - machine boots fine (albeit after a long pause looking for the bootloader).
So with XP on the first disk (which I need to - to have XP) the Ub bootloader does not seem to set the right params to be able to boot.
Again this is with 9.1. Not trying 10.04 as with 10.04 I don't even get to boot even with standalone Ub (with no XP). However it installs fine but does not find bootloader in 10.4, so we will keep to the 9.1 for now. I am however open to working with 10.04 if there is a solution in dual-boot with XP in my config.
So again 9.1 installs fine with XP on 1st SCSI disk, an ub 9.1 on 2nd SCSI disk, but then bootloader does not get activated and machine goes straight to XP.

I have a dell PC running on Fedora 12, and I would like to install this SCSI controller card from adaptec:[URL]I see that the driver for Linux is available only as source code. Can somebody please indicate me how to proceed? I am not advanced enough in Linux to know what to do with it myself...I downloaded the most recent (v2.0.26) Source Code for Linux Kernel v2.6 on all platforms.Here are the contents of the tarball (if it helps in any way):

I am attaching a LTO-3 tape drivce into my RHEL5 linux machine. Every time i used to restart my machine to detect the tape drive is there any way to rescan the buses to detect the newly attached scsi devices. In solaris "devfsadm" and "iostat" is there. I need the same kind of thing in linux.

just bought an adaptec 39160 PCI scsi controller and 34Gb drive and installed it on my computer.When i Booted it up a utility thing ran which said 'detecting array' and it found the drive and its size etc. it didn't go any further to allow my system to boot, so I rebooted and pressed CTRL + A to enter the adaptec scsi config. I changed something in there to make the disk non bootable (i Think) and rebooted the system.
It now hangs at :
'Detecting Array .....'
and does not show the drive details or the CTRL + A option to enter the utilities. So the only option I have had is to remove the adaptec controller ( and the system boots fine) the mother board is an Abit an8 ultra - probably about 4 years old and cpu is amd 64 I guess i have broken it and my remedy would be to reset the default options on the adaptec controller, but you can probably guess I have v. limited knowledge and have not used scsi before.

I had Ubuntu 10.10. Now in the free space remaining in my hard disk, I installed Fedora 15. But unfortunately, Fedora failed to detect ubuntu. Now when I start my computer, grub automatically loads fedora and also doesnt display the boot menu. How can I boot ubuntu and let the grub display a menu of operating system choices?
My /etc/grub.conf file in fedora is as follows:

A few weeks back I was trying to install this (alongside windows 7) and no matter what I tried it would not install. I tried both 9.04 32 bit and 9.10 64 bit. Each screen (language, keyboard, etc) took about 20 minutes to load, and when I finally got to the install it always stopped at about 2/3 percent, giving some type of I/O error. No matter how many times i reburned and redownloaded. (old thread if you're curious)
I eventually gave up but then realized I had an old xbox hard drive hooked up that I cannot boot or read or do anything. It was set as hard drive 0 in windows hard drive manager or whatever. So I unplugged it. Now my windows drive is drive 0, and I have a second internal drive.
I finally got back to installing this. I avoided the graphical installer at first because it was so slow, opting for the alternate cd. It went fast but when I tried to partition it was unclear to me which disk i was partitioning. Doesnt matter because when i clicked ok, it froze at 0% for 30 minutes so i had to do a hard restart. Windows ran the disk check, etc, etc, I checked the disk management in windows and it was just a single windows partition as it should be.
So I tried the graphical cd again instead. It goes really fast through the screens now, HOWEVER it will not detect my drive 0 windows drive! Just my second internal drive which of course I can't install on without wiping the entire thing. I have installed kubuntu 9.04 dual booted with windows xp on this exact hard drive, over a year ago successfully, so I don't get it. What do i do??

I've just installed Fedora (F13) for the first time, on a new HDD, to give myself a dual-boot system. So currently I have:
So, at the appropriate stage in the install menu, there is an option for where to install GRUB, and a drop-down to choose which drive is the primary BIOS boot drive.
However, in both cases, no other drive except my new sdc is visible. So, I can install GRUB to MBR of sdc, or to first sector of boot partition - but no option to put it to my primary boot drive MBR on sda.
Likewise, in the GRUB configuration page, if I go to Add another OS, the only option it gives me is my new Fedora install. It doesn't list the Vista OS on sda at all.
The result is that I can boot to either OS by changing the boot drive priority in BIOS.
I guess my question is this:
- is this expected behaviour from the installer, meaning that I'll need to configure GRUB manually somehow? (gulp ) or
- did I do something wrong in the install process? or
- is this some weird bug manifesting itself?

In my understanding, the way /proc/scsi/scsi gets populated, /proc/paritions also gets populated in the same fashion. i.e. the description for first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi can be seen in the first entry of /proc/partitions and same for rest.
So, With this assumption, in my project, I used to relate first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi with first entry of /proc/partitions to get its total size and same for all entries.
But, I observed some differences in following scenario, where
1) The first 4 entries in /proc/scsi/scsi are SAN luns attached to my system and for which the actual device names in /dev/ are sda,sdb,sdc and sdd.
2) The last 4 entries are the internal HDDs on same system. In /dev/, their respective device names are sde,sdf,sdg & sdh.
(Output attached at end of the thread)
But in /proc/partitions, the device order is different.
You can see their respective sizes in /proc/partition output as well.
So, my question is, in this particular scenario, I can't relate the first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi with first entry of /proc/partition. i.e. scsi0:00:00:00 is not /dev/sde, because it is actually /dev/sda.
It seems that my assumption is wrong in this scenario.
Is there any way or mechanism to figure out actual device name for an entry in /proc/scsi/scsi in /dev/ directory?
How can my application should relate /proc/scsi/scsi entries with their respective device names and sizes?

When I enter "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" I'm returned with "cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory". I've tried this on two different installs on two different machines.

I have installed Ubuntu on my m1530 since 8.04 and currently dual boot Win7 and 10.10. I would like to dual boot on my PC, but I have run into a problem. I am not a pro at Ubuntu, but this problem I can not solve by reading forums like I have in the past.
I realize this is a common problem, but I have noticed people having success.
I have a M4A87TD EVO MB with two Seagate drives in Raid 0. (The raid controller is a SB850 on that MB) I use the raid utility to create the raid drive that Windows7x64 uses. I have 2 partitions and 1 unused space. Partition 1 is Windows, partition 2 is for media, and the remaining unused space is for Ubuntu.
I am running ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64 off a Cruzer 16GB flash drive that was installed via Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.1.4.
My problem like so many others is that when I load into Ubuntu, gparted detects two separate hard drives instead of the raid. I read that this is because kpartx is not installed on 10.10. I then went in LiveCD mode and downloaded kpartx from Synaptic Manager. Gparted still reported two drives. I opened terminal and run a few commands with kpartx. I received an error. (Forgive me I didn't write it down, but I believe it said something about a communication error. I will try again later and see.)
Currently I am reflashing the Cruzer with a persistence of 4GB. I am not familiar with this process, but I understand that my LiveCD boot will save information I download to it. I decided to try this method because I was going to install kpartx and reboot to see if this made a difference.
I am looking for any suggestions on a different method or perhaps someone to tell me that the raid controller or some hardware isn't supported. I did install ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64 on my flash drive, but fail to get past detecting my CD-ROM drive since it's not plugged in. If this method is viable, I will plug it in. I also watched the ..... video were a guy creates Raid 0 with the alternated CD, but it wasn't a dual boot and didn't use a raid controller from a MB.

Some of our workstations have LTO's attached and they seem to drop off every now and again, the only thing which picks them up again (besides a reboot) is the famous rescan-scsi-bus script from here
The thing is that I'd like non-root users to be able to run this script, which in turn needs root to /proc/scsi/scsi

I've got a "little" problem with fedora 13: dual head with nouveau is not working. gnome-display-properties recognizes two displays and i can configure it (left, right, mirroring, ...) but first display is always in standby. Seems it doesn't get a signal from graphics controller. Desktop seems to work fine (can move the mouse pointer on the other screen into "the black hole"). I use Fedora 13 x86_64.

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 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:

I'm trying to install the Xubuntu 10.04 i386 Alternative build on a Pentium 2 Compaq PC with a SCSI hard drive. I run the installer but when loading it chokes up trying to read/write the SCSI harddrive and fails to install.
Do I need SCSI drivers or are they included and my disk corrupted? Windoze 98 and NT4 work fine on this PC.

I just switched from Ubuntu to Debian and I am having trouble doing something that I found easy to do with Ubuntu. I have a Radeon R9 graphics card from MSI with dual DVI ports and I'm trying to get xrandr/arandr to detect my dual monitors but it only detects one. I've installed all the drivers and even installed the "amdgpu" driver from the Ubuntu repository but still not detecting. What drivers am I missing?

First off I'd like to say I'm very new to Ubuntu, so I'm still trying to learn.I have a K8 motherboard with an adaptec U320 SCSI card with RAID ability.To that card I connected two 15k RPM 35 GB Maxtor SCSI drives.For some reason I'm not able to install Ubuntu 9.10 onto these drives with both drives in RAID 0.With both drives separately configured Ubuntu doesn't even see them.I have by the way run Windows XP and 2000 succesfully on these drives in Raid 0 configuration.I set up the array in the card's bios as bootable with write cache enabled.The system's bios sees the array as the array to boot from.Ubuntu (both standard and alternate) sees the array and I have tried to install Ubuntu on it by manually partitioning it or having me guide it with or without LVM.I tend to delete and rebuild the array between attempts so I have a clean slate to start from every time I try.
I have no other drives (except the CD of course) installed on this computer.The whole installation goes very well untill the end where I get a message that it could not install the boot loader (grub?).Every single time I've tried to install Ubuntu in all sorts of ways onto my RAID 0 array I have run into problems installing that boot loader, and I've tried that card and those disks in another computer as well.Tomorrow I'd like to try to manually set up the partitions with a small /boot partition on a standard hard drive with / on the array, but if somebody please has any idea's on how I might get it working without having to rely on another hard disk (which might not even work of course)

I did a fresh install of Fedora 10 x86, then updated fully with yum, then did a preupgrade to F11 Beta. The download of the rpms works fine but the preupgrade reboot fails with:
Error downloading kickstart file
Unable to download the kickstart file.....
proceed as an interactive installation
hd:UUID=8f4a.....(uuidhere) ...05a8:/upgrade/ks.cfg
I have a SCSI disk so I'm suspicious preupgrade is having trouble accessing it? That prefix "hd" looks suspicious, should that be:
Code:
sda:UUID=8f4a.....(uuidhere) ...05a8:/upgrade/ks.cfg
or maybe

I'm trying to install Fedora 11 x86_64 on system with Adaptec U160 and 2 Ultra160 HD. It is not part of a network and iSCSI is not wanted. But the installer keeps selecting iSCSI automatically and won't let me change it. I try to do a "replace linux system" with my own partition scheme-which preserves the partitions already on this drive. I eventually have to exit the installer.

I did an installation of SUSE 11.2 on a new SCSI hard drive. Keeping the old hard drive separate. I remembered there was some info on the old hard drive I wanted.
I added this to the system and mounted a partition. I then copied the data over. Then I umounted the partition rebooted the machine and removed the hard drive. However the machine will now not boot without this hard drive even though its not mounted. Not sure what the error message im given means I think it could be trying to fchk it.Do I need to do something more like remove /dev/sdd ?

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.

I need to add the LSI drivers for the 9750 RAID controller during the install. These drivers are not included in 10.04 (or 10.04.1) and I need to install onto the RAID device I've created. LSI provides the drivers and instructions here - [URL]
Here are my steps, with the drivers on a USB drive -
Code:
Boot from the installation CD and select Install Ubuntu Server.
Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to console 2 while Ubuntu detects the network.
# mkdir /mnt2 /3ware
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt2
NOTE: LSI drivers are at /dev/sda1, via USB
# cp /mnt2/9750-server.tgz /3ware
# cd /3ware ; tar zxvf 9750-server.tgz
# umount /mnt2
* Remove the USB flash before insmod command *
# insmod /3ware/2.6.32-21-generic/3w-sas.ko
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to return to the installer. Continue the installation as usual. Do not reboot when the installation is complete. Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to switch to console 2 again.
# cp /3ware/2.6.32-21-server/3w-sas.ko /target/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-server/kernel/drivers/scsi
# chroot /target
# /sbin/depmod -a 2.6.32-21-server
# update-initramfs -u -v
# exit
Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to return to the installer. Reboot to complete the installation. There are no errors, but after I reboot I just get "GRUB" in the upper left corner, nothing else.

I installed Ubuntu as well but was still using the windows loader. I eventually installed Ubuntu Studio when I got another HDD (which is where I installed it). Don't ask me how I did it. As of now no loader automatically pops up. It acts as if there is nothing to boot from. However I can hit f12 and chose which HDD to boot to. On one it comes up with the Windows loader w/ Vista and Ubuntu. I can chose Vista and it works just fine. However if I chose Ubuntu it starts going a lil nuts and restarts. If I chose the other HDD it boots up Grub w/ options of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. Studio works (which I'm currently on) and pretty much the same thing happens as before when I chose Ubuntu. So if the 2 OS's that I need work (Only really use windows for games) then what is the problem? I know its a little bit annoying trying to remember to hit f12 and having to chose your OS again after that (and of course the extremely annoying vista startup times). Some other things in both Studio and Vista don't want to work like they should. This is about the only thing left that I could think of that may have something to do with it. My wireless card+an old wireless card I found won't work w/ either.
Yet they both work on other computers running Vista and/or Ubuntu (not studio). I seem to always keep having display problems on both as well (dual monitors and graphics both). Even on studio I have to restart it sometimes to even get it to let me go fix it. My wireless controller receiver (for games) will stop working randomly and need to be unplugged and plugged back in. I also have problems with Studio recognizing SD cards and DVD/CD's. I am not sure much of anything can be done aside from wipe and fresh install on both. Bad thing is I don't have my other computer with me and can't afford to buy a 1TB HDD right now.
