Thread: SATA150 SX4 - Module "sata-sx4" missing?
i'm trying install ubuntu server 9.04 x86 (because unfortunately machine bit old , doesn't have x86-64 cpu) on hp proliant ml110 server.
has appears promise fasttrak s150 sx4 sata raid adapter.
when boot ubuntu server cd, seems go fine until gets point tries detect harddrives , fails. apparently hasn't got driver loaded sata card, , asks if want select one, displays list of modules select - none of appear have sata whatsoever.
information revealed google on subject, seems indicate particular type of card should supported in linux kernel several years now, through module called "sata_sx4".
after opening console ubuntu installer, in /lib/modules see if there useful modules, can't find "sata_sx4" anywhere in there. in fact, thing found @ seems have sata @ module called "sata_mv", according google driver different type of sata controller.
why "sata_sx4" missing install cd? has been renamed else? if so, what?
there sane way work without replacing sata controller?
update:
replaced original s150 sx4 controller new promise sata300 tx4 controller instead, worked immediately.
guess new 1 faster anyway, replace it.
i'd still know why s150 sx4 isn't supported on ubuntu cd though, if knows.
maybe sata_sx4 module built kernel, doesn't support particular chip?
