Rack Servers

Hello.

I recently purchased an R240 server and found Ubuntu 20.04 LTS included in the compatibility matrix.
I downloaded the 20.04 live server iso image from the official website of the Ubuntu Foundation and tried to install it, but a kind of error occurs right after the hard disk formatting procedure.

This is common to all os in the list below;

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
CentOS Stream9
CentOS 7

I have confirmed that the error occurs after the disk initialization process.
I tried formatting directly in command line mode, and the error occurs at the same time as formatting.

My R240 doesn't appear to have a separate RAID controller from what I've looked up on the Dell website.

I have a SATA HDD that appears as RAID0.

What steps can I take to install Ubuntu OS?

Hi, R240 supports RAID controllers as below: 

Internal controllers: PERC H730P, H330, HBA330 Software RAID: PERC S140.

Which do you use?

Hi,

No RAID controllers are identified on my server. Do I need to check in another menu other than this one?

This is how to controller you have:

When booting press CTRL+S or CTRL+R.

My Server uses PERC S140.

Hi @BlueMS,

Could you please try installing the OS after converting the disk to a Non-Raid disk.
