Hi,
I am trying to install a Debian system on a recently purchased Dell PowerEdge R840.
After trying many versions and distributions (including also Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS) up to Debian Bullseye Alpha 2, the situations are always very similar to this:
I checked for all iDRAC, BIOS and firmware updates.
Here are version messages extracted from dmesg:
5.7.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.7.10-1 (2020-07-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux
mpt3sas version 33.100.00.00
FW Package Ver(16.17.00.05)
LSISAS3008: FWVersion(16.00.08.00), ChipRevision(0x02), BiosVersion(18.00.00.00)
Hardware setup does not have any RAID support.
5 disks are attached: 1 x 240Go SSD SATA + 4 x 1,8To SAS
Don't really know where to address this or if/how I can help.
Thanks,
Patrice
