1) I would definitely recommend booting up/checking the logs multiple times on every leg of the test to ensure that it gets a consistent result. 2) I don't understand how this would have happened. It does occur to me that if we're dealing with possible IO corruption there could be other issues too, I'd suggest: If you can reproduce without having the OS or Kernel code on the Avago controller that would be the best option. (like I described in C#17) If not, reboot back to the stable v3.16 kernel before doing any git or build commands.

Installation hangs around 70% of progress. An important part of our configuration is Avago RAID controller: 9361-8i Firmware version we used is 4.300.00-4429, and the package is 24.10.0-0002. IMPORTANT: It has to be noted that with same hardware configuration 14.10 full blown image installs fine. Dmesg logs are attached: Looking at dmesg logs point out that: LSI (avago) driver loads fine During further interaction with raid volume during the installation process, firmware errors are seen [ 196.991417] megasas: FW status 0x3 [ 196.999376] megasas: FW status 0x3 [ 197.007376] megasas: FW status 0x3 Further down the process I/O errors are thrown [ 217.438664] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052864 [ 217.438671] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052865 [ 217.438678] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052866 [ 217.438686] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052867 Full dmesg log is attached. Snippet is pasted below highlighting: It can be noted that there’s a Mellanox Connectx 3 pro card with some test Firmware on our setup. We can Ignore any diagnostic messages from that card in dmesg logs for the purpose of this bug.
