Bug Description

Binary package hint: base-installer

Hi!

We are currently installing two IBM 306m servers with an Adaptec 9405 SAS controller. As the 6.10 server installer does include the aic94xx driver, we choosed it happily. But when it comes to loading the driver, the installer just complains, that no suitable driers were found and let's us choose one from a list. We choosed the aic94xx, as this is the right driver, and the installer complains again and so forth.

I switched to console 2 to have a closer look at dmesg and lsmod - lsmod is showing the loaded driver, depending on sas_class, everything ok. When I try to reload the driver, there are some dmesg showing up:

VFS: busy inodes on changed media.

This message repeats for a couple of times.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are currently reviewing bug reports regarding older kernels. Did this bug ever resolve itself after another update? Please let us know.

Also, now that the 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release of Ubuntu is out, we were wondering if you can still reproduce this issue. Could you please download and try the new version of Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and report back your results? If the issue is still present in the new release, please attach the following information:

* uname -a > uname-a.log
* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment. For more information regarding the kernel team bug policy, please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.
