Debian 11 doesnt detect virtual drive on PERC H330

#1 Post by mkrzysztofik »

Hi everyone,
I tired to install Debian 11.1.0 on DELL T140 with PERC H330 with one Virtual Drive on Raid1. Installer doesn't detect hard drive.
All firmwares are up to date.
I tried with Debian 10.10.0 and detecting HDD works fine.

Did you compare the output of

Code: Select all

lspci -nnkd
in both installers to check which driver is available and in use (megaraid_sas ?), and the output of

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep "driver name"
(replace any "-" or "_" in the driver name with ".")

I've checked as you suggested and I found errors like: could not get controller info.

Same result here. Poweredge 240 w/perc H330. Installs without issue using debian 10.x, doesn't detect the drives on debian 11.x.

Did you try to compare and play with the values of the megaraid_sas module parameters ?
Values can be read in /sys/module/megaraid_sas/parameters/ and set when loading the module with modprobe.

We are trying to install Debian Buster (10) on a Dell R350 and have the problem where the drives are not being seen.

We are about to return the hardware to Dell.

Anyone know of a good alternative server (rack mountable ideally)?

Hello,

On a Dell PowerEdge R240, Debian 10 is working. Not Debian 11.

What is the point of posting these pictures ? They do not provide any useful information.
