THANK YOU! I don't know how I missed that line in the instructions, but the error lead me to think it might be something with my system (especially considering the very limited amount of information available online). My device is now in target mode. I have another problem now though, not sure if I need to submit a new E-mail to the list or not (for tracking), let me know if I do. The new problem: After rebuilding my initramfs and rebooting, I found that roughly every 30 seconds the server would completely freeze for about 30 seconds, but then go back to responding. This happens from SSH and the local console, and no matter what I'm doing. Strangely a continuous ping to the server never drops a packet or has any increase response time. I tried using top to see if there was something causing heavy CPU/Memory/IO but from what I could tell (top stops updating during freezes). I checked /var/log/messages but there was nothing pertaining to the problem. The one big thing that concerns me is the fact that I am NOT using a "supported" HBA, my HBA is a QLogic QLA2362. I was curious whether there was a reason why you guys say that only the 24xx+ cards are compatible, were there issues with the older cards or were they just not tested? My systems hardware: OS: Ubuntu 12.10 up to date as of a week ago... Motherboard: Arima NM461 with latest official BIOS CPUs: 2x Opteron 2214HE HBA: QLogic QLA2362 (PCI-X, not PCI-E) RAID: LSI 8888ELP RAM: 8x 1GB Micron PC5300 Reg Thanks again, Dan On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 4:01 PM, Nicholas A.
