[Bug 46420] Ubuntu 5.10 installer crashes with kernel BUG on Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W controller

Wed May 24 22:10:09 UTC 2006

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: base-installer

The machine in question doesn't have any IDE hard drives, onle an IDE CD-ROM drive and 3 SCSI drives connected to a 
Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W in hardware RAID5 configuration.

Debian 3.1 has installed and runs fine on this machine.

When trying to install Ubuntu, the initial installer kernel panics with
the following error:
