I have the same problem since the release of Proxmox 2 RC1, with the first vesion of December I had no problem...
Here's what I posted today on the proxmox users list :

Subj: Still can't install Proxmox 2 with lsi 1068e sas driver
I made a squeeze install:
( http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Squeeze ) because since the upgrade to RC1 I can't boot on pve-kernel-2.6.32-10-pve and later versions (grub is OK but boot locks on the access of pve VG).

It seems I'm not alone as i have searched the forum and found :
http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/9754-how-to-load-lsi-1068e-sas-driver-when-install-proxmox-2-1

I've tried :
pve-kernel-2.6.32-11-pve normal/single user
pve-kernel-2.6.32-12-pve normal/single user
pve-kernel-2.6.32-13-pve normal/single user
If I boot with any squeeze kernel, everything is OK...
It was OK with the first release of Proxmox 2 (december).

The machine is an HP Z800 with an LSILOGIC MPT SAS BIOS C1068E SAS 1068E

This is becoming a real problem because we had a plan to use proxmox2 and we bought that machine for the project...

Any idea ?
Thank you
Bruno

Hello,
thank you for the new kernel version, it finally works for me and resolve my problems regarding the HPZ800 with an LSILOGIC MPT SAS BIOS C1068E SAS 1068E:

As you have not updated the ISO yet, I had to make an install with the ISO, then boot with a debian stable CD installer in rescue mode, then:

apt-get update
mount -a
apt-get install pve-kernel-2.6.32-14-pve
reboot

Now I can start my tests!!!
