Comment 47 for bug 148466

I cc'd the remarks to my SysAdmin, we got the PE2500 up aqnd running again,
with Windows 2000 Server, but I am curious, is the issue everyone is running
into the same as the one him and I fixed? We kept getting the error that
the computer couldn't detect any of the SCSI drives, and through process of
elimination, we arrived at what we did. What we ended up having to do was
insert the 3rd party driver disk on the 3.5" 5 times, but we successfully
got the machine to get all of the SCSI's going and we went from there to
reinstall the original OS. Give that a try and let me know if that fixes
it, we simply didn't reinstall 8.04 Server, so I'm curious to see if that in
fact fixes the problem. Hehe, I wouldn't mind authoring the solution, but
credit goes to my SysAdmin as well, since we both arrived at the conclusion
at the same time.

Subject: [Bug 148466] Re: Won't boot on a DELL Poweredge 2500

Hi All,

As from all the comments made here, it unfortunately looks like this is
still unresolved for Hardy. There were comments though that the 2.6.25
kernel may have introduced fixes for this issue. The upcoming Intrepid Ibex
8.10 is actively being developed and contains an 2.6.26 based kernel. I'm
curious if anyone would be willing to test the latest Alpha for Intrepid and
confirm if this issue will at least be resolved for the upcoming release -
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . You should be able to test via a LiveCD.
If this issue is resolved for Intrepid, hopefully we can then try to focus
on isolating the patch(es) which resolve this issue and see if they will
qualify for a Stable Release Update for Hardy. Please let us know your
results if you are able to test.
Thanks.
