My fix was as follows: ------------------------------ |Hack to get Dapper working - do before rebooting after install finished |(from <Alt-F2> screen). |echo "megaraid_sas">>/etc/mkinitramfs/modules |dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-26-amd-server | |grub-install /dev/sdg | |change hd6 in /boot/grub/menu.lst to hd0 |***NB you need to do this after kernel upgrades in the future*** ------------------------------ the grub-install will need to be changed as per your setup - ie we have 6 SAS drives in a RAID-10 config, hence the sd*g* as the raid device is the 7th device, until you reboot - then its the first :-% A two disk raid setup might use sdc.... ymmv. > > maybe you can do the same for the bnx2, but i don't think it needs to be > in the initramfs. > If it doesn't load automatically at boot time, you can add it to > /etc/modules > simply configuring the network worked for me... > I read in some forum that sometimes the network device enumeration order > can change for some reasons, if it's your case, you cause /etc/iftab to > assign a fixed name to your ifaces. yip - seen these switch around... <SNIP> > > Does the server project have a policy/mechanism for adding support for > > new hardware, particularly in the light of the LTS commitment? > > Would it help paying Canonical for any of the above? > > I'm also interesting in answers about these question. > Will these issues be fixed in Dapper? > I guess that more and more people will have these issues because these > Dell servers are quite popular and these issues are present on almost > all new dell servers : 1950 /1955 /2950 and i guess all servers using > megaraid_sas and bnx2. > > Maybe in dapper 6.06.2 ? Some kind of policy statement would be nice and go a long way to making Ubuntu Server Enterprise ready ;-) Thanks to all who helped.... --Calvin PS - Xenifying these besties and indications are they fly ;-) -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
