@ Brayn - Sorry for my earlier comment about 256K IO size. I thought
customer is using released FW packages.

I just realize that FW version 24.10.0-0002 is Internal development
release and not a product GCA.  Our current development series has 1024K
support. Looks like there may be some bug in FW which is not working
well under 1024K support, but certainly it is not 4096K. Anything higher
than 1024K will break here and "FW status 0x3" print will be a trigger
for that.

Title:
  Ubuntu 15.04 Install Error with Avago Controller

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hello Canonical Team

  We are running to an issue installing ubuntu PPC64LE 15.04 full blown
  image on our servers  (with RAID controller).  Installation hangs
  around 70% of progress.

  An important part of our configuration is Avago RAID controller:
  9361-8i Firmware version we used is 4.300.00-4429, and the package is
  24.10.0-0002.

  IMPORTANT: It has to be noted that with same hardware configuration
  14.10 full blown image installs fine.

  Dmesg logs are attached:

  Looking at dmesg logs point out that:
  LSI (avago) driver loads fine
  During further interaction with raid volume during the installation process, firmware errors are seen 
  [  196.991417] megasas: FW status 0x3

  [  196.999376] megasas: FW status 0x3

  [  197.007376] megasas: FW status 0x3
  Further down the  process I/O errors are thrown
  [  217.438664] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052864

  [  217.438671] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052865

  [  217.438678] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052866

  [  217.438686] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 22052867

  Full dmesg log is attached. Snippet is pasted below highlighting:

  It can be noted that there’s a Mellanox Connectx 3 pro card with some test Firmware on our setup. 
  We can Ignore any diagnostic messages from that card in dmesg logs for the purpose of this bug. 

  Thanks
  Adi Gangidi
