/ / Adaptec informs me that I need to download the drivers, although in theory and brings the AACR in the kernel.

/ / Download the latest driver

aacraid_dkms_v1.1.5-2459.tgz
/ * NOTES .........................
* The complication is that the ubuntu does not start, but the grub is not started after the linux.
* All these operations have to do starting the system from the CD in rescue mode
* Mounting partitions manually, loading the shell ... / bin / bash
* The kernel is not loaded into memory which is installed on the disk, but the kernel on the CD.
* Who knows what will happen?
*
* Documents in which I have relied to do this ...

Adaptec 2405 Ubuntu 8.04.1 server resest after grub
Posted September 29, 2008, 2:59pm by mugedoc, using Ubuntu Linux

In a PC with ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard, processor AM2 X2 3800 AMD (64 BITS), two hd Western Digital 1TB'm riding a RAID 1 controller with the Adaptec 2405.
Having previously created in the 2405 controller Adaptec Array of discs using RAID 1, the bios of the plate is both the boot CD-ROM as the raid 1.
I make the installation of ubuntu server 8.04.1 and sees a single disk sda, partitioning disks with a partition for boot, one for /, / usr, / var ....
The installation ends successfully, sack the installation CD and restart after the BIOS and the Adaptec controller, is grub, I choose the boot and was hung, it does not show anything, and the keyboard does not respond, or Shift key depressed, or numerical , Or anything
After testing several times, it started the installation CD in rescue mode, and loads ubuntu, from partitions Console amount and the facility there, I notice that the driver has aacraid in / var / log / installer, I review the logs in / var / log and are empty, there has never been a starter.
I check in / boot / grub / device.map and pointing to / dev / sda
I try to re-create the RAID 1, even low-level formatting disks from the controller, reinstall the server ubuntu 8.04.1 and everything's fine. Ther Extract CD, restarts, it shows grub and restarts, does not load the ubuntu ...
What is happening? The rescue mode if I start the installation but has never come to boot ...
I'm going to try Fedora 9, I feel sorry because I was going to ubuntu / debian but it seems that the drivers ...
