I use and love 3ware's 9650 controllers. No driver install is needed for
those. 

 

Isn't the 9240-8i just one the current models being sold? I's hate to buy
one if its having these issues. 

 

Do you have an array defined in the controller's bios as you're booting
Ubuntu? If so, how large is the volume? How many drives are there?

 

Also, what happens if you boot the machine with just the card, and with no
drives attached and with the drives powered off? 

 

Is it Ubuntu 32 or 64 bit?
