Ubuntu 18.04 Install Error


After I select a drive it gives me an error, I have an option to read an error log which I can't post the whole thing since it's massive and on a separate computer. On boot it does mention it not being able to find /dev/sda and 1 other thing in the /dev directory I can't quite remember. I have used the built in verify the install files and it had no issue, I've reflashed my USB 2 times, I'm running it on a Dell Poweredge R620.

I know the image is at the start of the install but it appears at the end of it. LMK if you need anymore information.

Hi,
unfortunately without knowing anything about that error hard to help. So would be nice to give us more details about it (including the thing you don't remember).

I will try tomorrow since it's 12am as I'm writing this and my server is an area will it will most likely wake up my family so I'll get back to you as soon as I can. It hasn't really told me much about the error its having when I try to install it. But it does allow me to access a long list that I can't go to the bottom because there is so much to go through. Knowing that I hope you can tell me a way I can get it to you guys reliably and easily.

It is probably due to the RAID controller not being supported. I know RHEL works so CentOS 7 should as well. You might want to try alma as well as Rocky.

removed my raid controller due to it giving me issues, at least the little tiny one.

Check the output of the dmesg command from the live USB to see what errors pop up and if the controller is recognized.

How would I go about that, where would I execute the command? Because I can't get past the install.

How are you installing? Via the server or live install ISO?

I guess that would be via the live installer.
