Hi,
Problem is solved.
There where two things that needs to be taken in account for when installing
ubuntu on a Sun fire X2200 M2 with latest firmware & Bios in conjunction with
Areca Raid controllers.
1) Don`t use the create raid volume option ( This does background
initialization )
Since it goes into background it should be listed as Bootable add on device
in Sun Bios.
Unfortunally it isn`t, while array does get listed in raid controller bios.
Instead do the Quick Volume or Raid create option.
This will only let you choose Forground initialization, can be a slow
progress if you got large disks.
2) Disable framebuffers while loading linux kernel in expert mode.
It seems there is something going wrong with the framebuffer while booting
ubuntu iso`s on in conjunction with the onboard videocard in the Sun fire X2200
M2.
This causes the video output to be gone after loading syslogd and klogd
flags:
fb=false debian-installer/framebuffer=false
lspci output see attachment.
Thanks
Matthew
