8. Press CTRL+ALT+F7 to return to the installation screen and
complete the installation.
3.8.2 SLES 11 SP3 with 4KB/Sector Drives
4KB/sector hard disk drives are not supported as a boot device
with legacy (Ctrl-A) BIOS on SLES 11 SP3 (32-bit/64-bit).
WORKAROUND: Install the driver in uEFI mode. Follow these steps
(assuming you created a driver disk):
1. Boot from the SuSE installation DVD.
2. Add 'brokenmodules=aacraid dud=1' to the boot menu:
o Change from: linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux
o Change to: linuxefi /boot/x86_64/loader/linux brokenmodules=aacraid dud=1
3. Press F10 to boot.
4. Insert the USB driver disk.
5. Complete Steps 5-8 in Section 3.8.1 (above) to complete the installation.
3.9 Fedora Linux Setup
To avoid a known PCIe Active State Power Management issue under
Fedora Linux 14, you must add the OS option `pcie_aspm=off` in
the GRUB bootloader file "menu.lst". Follow these steps:
1. When the first Fedora installation screen appears, press
the 'Tab' key.
2. Before pressing the first 'reboot' button, edit grub/menu.lst:
o Press Alt+F2
o cd /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/
o Open the menu.lst file
3. Add 'pcie_aspm=off' just after 'rhgb quiet'. The new line
should look like this:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE... rhgb quiet pcie_aspm=off
3.10 Debian Linux Setup
After installing the Debian Linux driver, you must replace the
SCSI Device Partition Name in Debian’s GRUB bootloader with
a UUID. Failure to update the partition name may cause the
system to hang when the OS is rebooted. In the GRUB bootloader
file "menu.lst", replace the SCSI device partition name
(for instance, /dev/sda1), with UUID=<string>.
3.11 Ubuntu Linux Setup
o Due to a partition editor issue with Ubuntu 12.04.2, the OS
reports an inaccurate drive size when creating a 4K sector
boot drive in uEFI mode. As a result, the installer hangs
when creating the file system and the installation fails.
WORKAROUND: Install Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
o When installing the driver on an existing Ubuntu 11 or 12 OS,
the install script may stop at "grep vermagic" if the OS is
already installed with Ubuntu-desktop packages. To avoid this
problem, always install the driver packages first:
# sudo dpkg -i aacraid-1.2.1-29600-Ubuntu11.04+11.10+12.04-all.deb
...then install Ubuntu desktop utilities by doing an online update:
# sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
o After installing the Ubuntu driver, you must increase the
SCSI command timeout value from 30 seconds (the default
value) to 90 seconds. Failure to increase the timeout may
cause the system to hang with an EXT4 error when a good drive
is removed from a rebuilding array. Use these commands to
increase the timeout in SYSFS, assuming /dev/sda, /dev/sdb,
and /dev/sdc are the device LUNs on the Ubuntu Linux host:
echo ``90``> /sys/block/sda/device/timeout
echo ``90``> /sys/block /sdb/device/timeout
echo ``90``> /sys/block/sdc/device/timeout

controllers only. maxCache Plus is supported on Adaptec
