Boot Problem with ASMedia ASM1062 Onboard Controller

[trendco]

Yesterday i changed my Mainboard of my Proxmox Server to a Supermicro X10SAE.
I want to use the ASM1061 Onboard-Controller (lspci shows ASM1062) for Proxmox System, but it does not boot:

Loading, please wait...
Volume Group "pve" not found
...

I use Kernel "proxmox 3.10.0-4-pve"

 

[trendco]

According to Supermicro Support the ASM Controller is not supported by Kernel 3.1x
Is there a newer Proxmox-Kernel (3.2) available?

 

[tom]

which driver is needed? please post download link from the vendor.

did you set the controller to AHCI mode?

 

[trendco]

Hi Tom,

yes, AHCI Mode is Active, but the Controller is not recognized by the Kernel.
The support of SuperMicro says that the ASM1061 would be supported in Linux Kernel 3.2
I have not found any Download Sources

hi,

just to note, 3.10 is much newer than 3.2 (see development history). our 3.10 kernel branch is based on the current RHEL7 kernel/sources.

so the issue seems not related to the too "old" kernel. I do not have such a board in our testlab so I cannot test this myself.

What is the newest Kernel (Enterprise) ?

Can i also directly access the repo https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian with a valid Subscription?
What ist Username/Password?

What is the newest Kernel (Enterprise) ?

proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 3.3-139 (running kernel: 2.6.32-34-pve)

if you want to try 3.10, I suggest you grab latest from pvetest repo,

> wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/wheezy/pvetest/binary-amd64/pve-kernel-3.10.0-7-pve_3.10.0-27_amd64.deb
> dpkg -i pve-kernel-3.10.0-7-pve_3.10.0-27_amd64.deb

Can i also directly access the repo https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian with a valid Subscription?
What ist Username/Password?

username: your key
pw: your server ID

Solved: With Kernel "pve-kernel-3.10.0-5-pve" andd "pve-kernel-3.10.0-7-pve" it works now.

I have a question about this. I am looking at a PCI-E controller with the ASM1061 chip (Mediasonic HP1-SS3) for an external multi-bay e-sata box with port multiplier. Its not clear if the 2.6 kernel will support this controller in this use case (non bootable). Can you give some input on this? I am guessing in the worst case I can use the 3.10 kernel as well for the functionality I want.

 

[Mr.Embedded]

I'll answer my own question. Those controllers work right out of the box with the 2.6 kernel (latest) and show up as ASM1062 chips.
