https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63661 claims to be the same
as this bug and that the problem is caused by "pci: Rework ASPM disable
code" from commit 3c076351c4027a56d5005a39a0b518a4ba393ce2.

I'm not 100% sure that's the case, because comment #8 reports that
"pci=conf1" is a workaround, and I don't know how that would be related
to ASPM.

I would like to see complete dmesg logs and "lspci -vvxxx" output both
with and without "pci=conf1" to explore that issue.  Obviously a user
should not have to specify a parameter like that to get things to work.

Title:
  Cannot install Ubuntu Server on Intel Raid System

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have been trying to install ubuntu server for the last 4 days on an Intel P4208CP4 server with intel rms25pb080 raid controller.
  Although the raid card (LSI 2208 chipset, 1 gb RAM, 2 8087-ports ) is recognized correctly by the kernel as megaraid_sas it will not ever be used or even offered as an installation target. 
  dmesg reports "FW in fault state", and that is about all that ever happens. lsmod shows the relevant modules to be loaded.
  fdisk or gparted never show any devices on this controller.
  Versions i tried:
  - 12.04 server 64bit, release 
  - 12.04.1 server 64bit, release
  - 12.04.2 daily build server 64bit as of 12/12/2012, kernel 3.5 quantal-lts
  - 12.04.2 daily build desktop 64bit as of 12/12/2012, kernel 3.5 quantal-lts
  - 12.10 deskktop and server , daily build  from 12/13/2012 kernel 3.5 
  - 13.04 alpha, daily build from 12/14/2012 64bit, desktop only, kernel 3.7-rc
  Just to make sure, i moved the raid card around between the pci-e slots.
  I also tried efi and legacy boot with all these versions - nothing.
  There are 3 more 1tb sata disks in the machine, that are not attached to the raid card, ubuntu in any of the above versions installs and runs there without any problems

  Machine Specs:
  MB intel S2600CP4
  2xE5-2630 xeon
  8x8GB Kingston ecc reg
  intel raid adapter rms25pb080 w/ 8x Samsung SSD 840PRO /256gb
  3x 1TB WD2,5" sata on onboard sas-ports
  no cd/dvd

  BTW: Centos 6.3-64bit works out of the box, much to my chagrin..
  Disk throughput ist 2.9GB/s read avg. and 2.4GB/write avg. according to centos gnome disk utility, so the raid card seems to be ok with these ssds attached to it.

  What to do?
