[Gad Maor <gad.maor@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm this issue has not been resolved yet in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
latest ISO.

Tried the iommu=soft solution -> didn't work.

Tried to load every kernel module that seemed even remotely connected to
the issue via the BusyBox tty -> no joy :(

This is a major issue, since it's hampering installation of Ubuntu
Server on our servers.

I found out that the mfi module might fix this issue : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man4/mfi.4freebsd.html
but for some reason it's not included in the Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation ISO.

Title:
  LSI SAS 1078 not detected when installing

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux package in Fedora:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.27

  Trying to install Ubuntu 8.10 on an IBM 3950 M2 with:

  - Chipset ICH7
  - Integrated network card Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Eternet (rev 06)
  - Network card Intel Pro/1000 PT 82571EB (4 ports)
  - LSI Logic/Symbios Logic SAS 1078 PCI-Express Fusion MPT SAS (rev ff)
  - RSA card 

  All devices appear correctly in an lspci command. During the install
  process, only the Broadcom network card is detected, although the
  e1000e driver is loaded. During the disk detection, no disks are
  found, although the mptsas driver is loaded.

  Here you are some information I manually copied from the screen of the
  server (dmesg while detecting the network hardware):

  And here you are part of the result of the lspci command (copied
  manually, too):

  20:00.1 Idem.
  21:00.0 Idem.

  I have been searching the Internet for hours with no luck. I have
  tried disabling the onboard LAN controller with no luck.
