| deva | I just upgraded to beowulf and now I can no longer see my adaptec raid - it doesn't even show up in lspci anymore. Shouldn't this just-work(tm)? | 16:50 |
|---|---|---|
| gnarface | beowulf from ascii or from debian? | 16:51 |
| deva | from ascii | 16:51 |
| gnarface | make sure the driver module loaded | 16:51 |
| deva | I tried modprobe accraid and it loads the driver, but doesn't connect to any hardware | 16:51 |
| gnarface | interesting, does it require non-free firmware? | 16:52 |
| deva | IIRC lspci should print out directly what is being reported by the BIOS, regardless of which drivers are being loaded | 16:52 |
| gnarface | if you upgraded without non-free in your sources.list you would have lost any non-free firmware associated with the old kernel | 16:52 |
| deva | Aah, let me rephrase; I re-installed an old system with beowulf | 16:53 |
| deva | So no upgrade was done | 16:53 |
| gnarface | lspci doesn't show the array? | 16:54 |
| deva | nope | 16:54 |
| DHE | lspci should show the card. otherwise the card is failed or possibly disabled in the BIOS | 16:54 |
| gnarface | i mean the raid controller? | 16:54 |
| deva | I dumped lspci from the old system. Here is a comparison: https://pastebin.com/YyBiqNtq | 16:55 |
| deva | I only changed the boot order in BIOS. Perhaps it decided to bypass the array - I'll have a second look | 16:56 |
| deva | I fiddled around in the BIOS, didn't really change anything, uplugged a USB drive I had connected and now it works... | 17:15 |
| deva | I guess it could be a buggy BIOS or something... | 17:15 |
| gnarface | seems weird, i agree deva | 17:19 |
| gnarface | let me know if you figure anything out | 17:19 |
| gnarface | could be a power supply issue | 17:19 |
| gnarface | what was the USB device? | 17:19 |
| gnarface | anything heavy? | 17:20 |
| deva | I tryed cold booting with the USB drive connected again and it still works | 17:20 |
| deva | So I must have changed /something/ in BIOS | 17:20 |
| DHE | well the bios usually requires you to explicitly save any changes. but a cold powercycle could be good for the card itself | 17:21 |
| gnarface | not necessarily, because a weak power supply situation would have some hysteresis | 17:21 |
| deva | Oh well - it apparently just-work(tm) as expected, provided that the BIOS works(tm) :-D | 17:21 |
| gnarface | also, bios does cache hardware layout at POST time... | 17:22 |
| deva | The PSU shouldnot be the problem. It is a minor powerhouse | 17:22 |
| gnarface | and sometimes the bios cache can get wrong... | 17:22 |
| gnarface | some bioses have a feature to manually flush it | 17:22 |
| deva | The UI of the BIOS is target at gamers, and calling it easy to use and understand is a overstatement | 17:23 |
| gnarface | so, just by booting twice and entering/exiting the bios and saving changes once you could have changed something even if you didn't change anything, you know what i mean? | 17:23 |
| deva | It does a have a lot of nice background animations though | 17:23 |
| gnarface | heh | 17:23 |
| deva | I'll write it down to my future self, for when I upgrade next time | 17:24 |
