[04:09] <mark105> hi im trying to get ubuntu running on a proliant 800 that has a smart array 3200 in it
[04:09] <mark105> ive got it all installed
[04:09] <infinity> And on reboot, it doesn't work, because cpqarray isn't in the initramfs, right?
[04:09] <mark105> something like that
[04:10] <mark105> no wait
[04:10] <mark105> grub loads, it loads the kernel
[04:10] <infinity> Yes...
[04:10] <mark105> but then it says my raid drive doesnt exist
[04:10] <infinity> And then you can't find the root filesystem.
[04:10] <infinity> Yes, see above.
[04:10] <mark105> yup
[04:10] <infinity> Is this breezy or dapper?
[04:10] <mark105> breezy
[04:11] <infinity> If dapper, I'll have a fix for you in the next initramfs upload.
[04:11] <mark105> 5.10
[04:11] <infinity> If breezy, you'll need to 'echo cpqarray > /etc/mkinitramfs/modules' && dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-[whatever] 
[04:12] <infinity> Should be able to mount it from the recovery console on the install CD to mangle it like so.
[04:12] <mark105> ok
[04:13] <mark105> cpqarray is a binary?
[04:13] <mark105> i havent got far enough to know yet
[04:14] <infinity> cpqarray is a kernel module for your array.
[04:15] <infinity>  /etc/mkinitramfs/modules is a file that says "add these extra modules to my initramfs, please!"
[04:16] <mark105> ahh right
[04:17] <infinity> (And dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r` will re-run the linux-image postinst which will, among other things, regenerate your initramfs image for that kernel package)
[04:18] <mark105> cheers dude
[04:18] <mark105> now i just need to find the recovery console
[04:25] <mark105> this isnt working
[04:26] <infinity> You have your target system mounted... Where?
[04:26] <infinity> As /target?
[04:30] <mark105> wont mount
[04:31] <mark105> loading ubuntu live cd now
[04:31] <mark105> have no idea where to find recovery console
[04:32] <nictuku> you'll be fine with the live cd and chroot, I guess
[04:33] <mark105> what i was gonna do
[04:47] <mark105> well that fixed it
[04:47] <mark105> finishing install now
[04:48] <nictuku> :-)
[04:57] <mark105> know what to modprobe for a compaq netelligent integrated nic?
[05:09] <nictuku> I dunno, but as a last resort you can try to load all of them and see what happens :-)
[05:13] <mark105> well so far the lights havent lit up
[05:15] <mark105> google reakons its the tlan driver
[05:15] <mark105> but its not doin much at the moment
[05:16] <nictuku> did the interface show up?
[05:16] <nictuku> read dmesg
[05:16] <mark105> ok
[05:19] <mark105> well dmesg found it and said its working
[05:19] <mark105> but not showing up
[05:21] <mark105> well just ran dhcpclient eth0 and now its working
[05:21] <mark105> doesnt load up properly at boot
[05:21] <nictuku> :-)
[05:22] <nictuku> I was saying "check mii-tool"
[05:22] <mark105> ??
[05:23] <nictuku> If the NIC has MII support, it will report if the cable is plugged in
[05:23] <mark105> yeh it says that now
[05:26] <mark105> ahh crap i need to add auto eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces
[05:27] <nictuku> hehe yes you do
[05:29] <mark105> thats whats wrong
[05:29] <mark105> lol
[06:17] <nictuku> I think it's time to update https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/network-wide-updates
[04:26] <hunger> Keybuk: They work-for-me(TM)
[06:22] <dman> im having issues with ubuntu plus scsi and raid
[06:22] <dman> the install cd isnt making a block device of my array
[06:22] <fabbione> dman: wrong channel
[06:22] <fabbione> ask in #ubuntu or file a bug
[06:23] <dman> ia ssumed scsi + raid etc.. was server related
[06:23] <fabbione> i can use scsi and raid + lvm on my workstation :)=
