Hello guys!
Im installing Ubuntu Server 16.04 x64 on Huawei Server with Megaraid SAS Raid adapter.
Boot mode - UEFI.
First of all - created Raid 5 Virtual disc (3 SAS discs).
During install, Ubuntu dont see the raid disc(it has megaraid_sas driver but its outdated).
After visiting manifacturing site I found the needed driver (https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/MR_LINUX_DRIVER_7.13-07.713.02.00.tgz)and its supports Ubuntu 16.
And what a joke - they have a driver in .deb format:-(
According to they manual we have to install it with dpkg
#dpkg -i <DRIVER_PACKAGE>.deb.
For sure it wont works before system not installed yet.
What I did:
I installed DEB on virtual os and extracted megaraid_sas.ko needed driver file.
During Ubuntu install I switched terminal window (ALT+F2) and activated that module:
insmod megaraid_sas.ko
After that Ubuntu detected raid and successfully finished installation.
But, after reboot the system failed to start with the mdadm issues, partitons wasnt mounted and system dropped me into initramfs shell.
Im really tired with that ](*,)](*,)](*,)
Great thanks with any advices!
p.s. I tryed
update-initramfs -u but it doesnt works during install.
p.p.s. I have some mind regards run commands via chroot into /target, but dont know exactly what to do yet.
