Re: Problem with Adaptec 2100s
Hi,
Today I finally managed to install slx 3.0, profile thinclient-server on my Primergy TX200!
It was wiping the disks that solved the issue:-)
I tried once more to use guided partitioning; selected encrypted
volumes, and after the wiping had finished I was asked to give the new
volume a name.. Which I did not do. Instead I rebooted the server and
performed a new install using the automatic partition tool.
Since the install, I have rebooted a couple of times, and it seems to work OK.
Jan Røed from Sunndal ungdomsskole had the same problem and managed to solve it by formatting his disks with NTFS..
It has obviously something to do with filesystems already on the disks.

Is the qouted solution below valid on a debian setup?
"
Here is what I've found and it works for me.
I have a SuperMicro 6012L-6 with P4DLR+ with Adaptec 2005S.
Installing SuSe 10.0 gives "dpti0: Trying to abort cmd=...".
Here are the workaround steps.
1.
After the first reboot go to single user mode. In GUI press F2 and type
"single". In text mode press "e", then select "kernel ..." line and
press "e" again and type single. Press enter and then "b" to boot.
2. Once at the command prompt create file /etc/sysconfig/hotplug and add this line
COLDPLUG_PCI_CLASSES_BLACKLIST="0104"
Where 0104 is the class of your Adaptec controller.
Run "lspci -mn" to get it. Here is my output.
02:03.0 "Class 0104" "1044" "a511" -r01 "1044" "c032"
Note where it says: "Class 0104".
All this will prevent /etc/init.d/boot.coldplug from hanging when running /etc/hotplug/pci.rc.
Script pci.rc sources /etc/sysconfig/hardware/scripts/functions that in turn sources /etc/sysconfig/hotplug.
3. Now you need to prevent udev from trying to load dpt_i2o module.
Add the following two lines to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.
i2o_core
dpt_i2o
4. Reboot and continue the installation."

well, I have tried to compile a 2.6.21 kernel, and I got the same error
on the servers with adaptec 2100S.
what I have success with, is to compile a 2.6.18 kernel. in makeconfig I
turn off ALL OTHER adaptec drivermodules, just keep i2o_dpt. then I
compile, and install the kernel. It works well on our servers. No more
superblock error on our servers with adaptec 2100s.
I'm beginning to think that one of the other adaptec kernelmodules that
comes with the etch default kernel conflicts with i2o_dpt.
Debian-edu (skolelinux) RC3 worked almost perfectly on our servers with adaptec 2100S.
we did have some issues with superblock error on /dev/sda1 with RC3 too, but it was usualy fixed
by using a linux-livecd (we used kubuntu). we bootet kubuntu livecd, used qtparted and wiped all partritions
off
the disk. then we installed debian-edu (skolelinux) 3.0 Rc3. However on
debian-edu (skolelinux) 3.0R0 it does not work doing it that way.
