Bug Description
I have a Dell PowerEdge 1800 with Dell CERC 1.5/6ch RAID controller in it. Everything worked fine under Ubuntu 14.04.1. When I upgraded to 16.04.1 the system won't boot. It can't find the root filesystem. I see errors about host adapter dead on the screen many times. This is with kernel 4.4.0-57 and with 4.8.0-32. When I switch back to kernel 3.13.0-105 the system boots just fine.
I have mptbios 5.06.04.
The CERC card says bios version 4.1-0 [Build 7403]
When booting into the ercovery kernel I'm getting error messages about host adapter dead.
Eventually I get a message:
"aacraid: aac_fib_send: first asynchronous command timed out.
Usually a result of a PCI interrupt routing problem
update moher board BIOS or consider utilizing one of
the SAFE mode kernel options (acpi, apic etc)"
Using kernel parameter "intel_iommu=on" doesn't help. This was suggested on a post that I saw about these errors.
Booting with "noapic" didn't help.
Booting with "noapic noacpi" didn't help.
I've also tried the dkms modules from Adaptec and that doesn't seem to help either.
I can't figure out how to upgrade the firmware or BIOS on the system from Ubuntu either.

I tried some other kernel parameters:
scsi_scan=sync -> didn't help
pci=nomsi,nommconf -> didn't help
For now I'm just booting the 3.13.0 kernel since I need the server up and don't have good physical access to it.
