Comment 27 for bug 110585

Hi there,

This may benefit others who have also had problems installing Ubuntu Server 7.10.
I have just managed to install Ubuntu Server 7.10 on my Compaq DL360 G1 by followed Alex Smith's recommendation above using the module blacklist technique.

- Boot from the Ubuntu Server 7.10 CD
- At the boot menu hit F6 for "Other Options"
- When presented with the boot options command line, append Alex's suggested blacklist command
sym53c8xx.blacklist=true
- Hit enter to boot.

I received an eror to say that the boot option was unrecognised however I was able to see my 2 x 36GB SCSI disks (Raid 1) and partition accordingly. Without the blacklist I was unable to see the SCSI disks in the partitioner.

Regards
Mark
