Highpoint SATA RAID card triggers kernel bug

Asked by Mathew Hennessy

I'm currently unable to have my Highpoint SATA RAID card recognized by 9.04 installer, either 32 or 64-bit x86. Here is dmesg from a livecd session:

Should I attempt to use the Highpoint drivers, and if so, how would I go about doing that during installation? Has anyone got a known working driver that I could use with the alternate installer (when it prompts for a alternate driver media)?

BTW, hardware is:
DFI Lanparty Jr x58-T3H6, Core i7 920, 6GB RAM, Highpoint 3120 PCIe x1 SATA RAID, Sapphire PCIe x16 ATI 4870 1GB.

Did you MD5 check the iSO you downloaded? Did you verify the CD once initially booted to?

Only the motherboard is of nterest to us, the video card doesnt affect SATA drivers so is useless information.

Yes and yes, in fact this selfsame CD worked fine for building ubuntu on both internal ICH10R RAID and external USB HDD. I've installed this image (Ubuntu 9.04 desktop amd64) onto a 4GB USB flash stick and used that to install the external HDD. All fail with this sort of error when trying to load hptiop driver.

I've seen issues in the past with PCI PnP where when the IRQ is shared between a video display and another card (in that case, an ethernet PCI NIC), that there is confusion in the management of IRQs, so I also switched slots for both cards. However, this looks more like a kernel bug, probably in the hptiop driver.

Can you help with this problem?
