I have a Dell PE 600 box with 2 Adaptec 2110s U160 Single Channel RAID controller supported 6 HDDs.
I am trying to install Ubuntu from a mini ISO - tried server / desktop / alternate as well. And also different Ubuntu versions.
The mini installer runs upto setting the time zone (after configuring for DHCP et.al.) and then on the screen 'Detecting Disks and Other Hardware' hangs up.
Now I am assuming its because of the fact that I have 2 of the above controllers - as I have another similar box with only 1 of the controllers and it installs/boots fine with no problems.
Look forward to you suggestions/help and if there is any other info I can provide. I plan to set up Ubuntu 10.10 server on it. Btw I don't think its a Linux problem as SUSE 11.3 installs fine on the box.
Thanks for your help.
