All that patch appears to do is to remove an artificial limit for all devices to 1024. I haven't been able to reproduce the option reset on my systems, so here is what I would try:
Try setting the controller option and see if that sticks [1]: rmmod megaraid_sas modprobe megaraid_sas max_sectors=2048 It may also be possible to do this while booting as a kernel command option like: megaraid_sas.max_sectors=2048 (2048 does actually mean 1024 for the other options). Otherwise, I'd recommend switching to a Live CD and see if the option works there. If not, a last option would be to try using sysfs on the livecd to see if that will help ensure it: sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo apt update edit /etc/sysfs.ctl adding block/xxx/queue/max_sectors_kb = 1024 sudo apt install sysfsutils sudo service sysfsutils restart [1] http://fendertech.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-increase-maxsectorskb- for.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1475166 Title: Ubuntu 15.04 Install Error with Avago Controller To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1475166/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
