For what it's worth ... Since the vendor (transtec) mostly supports Suse, I
booted opensuse 10.2 into
rescue mode. This works, and all disks are recognized. There are fewer, yet
some messages ("transmission
error" etc) from the aic79xx drivers as for dapper. The driver claims to be at
version 3.0; the boot kernel, however, is only at 2.6.18. So maybe it is really
some changes in the remaining SCSI system that change the stability
of the driver.
Two things I noted booting Suse: (1) It correctly identifies the Motherboard
and Controller (Super Micro AIC-7902B U320) for whatever that's worth. (2) It
loads the driver for the LSI Controller *after* the driver for the Adaptec
onboard controller, whereas the Ubuntuinstallers always load the mpt fusion
driver (for LSI) first (as opposed to the working dapper system, where the load
order is adaptec first, LSI second). I'd actually like to see whether the
module loading order makes a difference. Can I force the install kernel not to
load a module (I don't need the LSI controller during install; I'd rather the
RAID be not touched ;-)
