Hello Forum
First: Sorry for my bad english ;)
I have here a problem with a HP ProLiant ML310 G1 server.
I am not sure if this is the right place for the post; please move it to the right location if it is wrong.
Some specs:
CPU: Intel P4 2.8 GHz
RAM: 512MB
Disk1: 40GB IDE (connected to "Integrated Ultra ATA100 IDE RAID Controller")
Disk2: 160GB IDE (connected to "Integrated Ultra ATA100 IDE RAID Controller")
Disk3: 1TB SATA-II (connected to "Adaptec 1420SA", Legacy mode)
Disk4: 1TB SATA-II (connected to "Adaptec 1420SA", Legacy mode)
PCI-Card1: Adaptec 39160 SCSI-Controller (used for Tape Library)
PCI-Card2: Adaptec 1420SA SATA-II RAID Controller (used for 1TB-drives)
I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 on the 40GB-drive. The server is used as backup server.
Now the problem (I am not sure if it is a Linux-problem or not):
I attached the two 1TB-drives to the controller and turn the server on. The BIOS-messages are displayed, but at the point "Booting from Harddisk (Drive C)", the system hangs.
I read, that the support for the Adaptec 1420SA-Controller is not very well in Ubuntu / Debian.
Then, I disconnected the two 1TB-drives from controller and tried again. Success! The system boots.
I took a look at the driver: sata_mv is used.
Then I attached the two drives. They were automatically detected.
I created a new ext4-filesystem on each drive, and copied test data to them. Success!
I also wrote entries to /etc/fstab for this disks (using everywhere the UUIDs).
Then, I restarted the system (without disconnect the drives from the controller) ... same problem, the system hangs at "Booting from Harrdisk (Drive C)". No failure message. CTRL + ALT + DEL also does nothing.
The Boot Controller Order is okay (first the IDE- then the SATA-Raid-Controller), also the Boot Order (1. Floppy, 2. CD-Rom, 3. Harddisk, 4. NIC).
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Best regards and many thanks,
Lousek
