Found the problem, the boot ssd is dead, any computer can read it anymore, got a new one, everything working for two days with no problem

Found the problem, the boot ssd is dead, any computer can read it anymore, got a new one, everything working for two days with no problem

removed everything, restored the boot imagem, same issue, boot one time, work everything, then die on reboot

good idea! I'll do it now!

Yes, I did it, there two internal sata, same issues, even if I didn't mount any raid controller drives.

hello, I've got a old dell poweredge 2950 with a raid controller (perc 5/i), two xeon processors and 16gb of ram to create a nas and a place to store my steam library and plex. I'm using it for more than 2 years with no problems, but now it didn't boot anymore, even if I restore my boot image (I created a image from the ssd to restore before any update or whatever) it works a little then no boot anymore... I've got a photo from the error... I've found about pcie_aspm off and force inside the grub config file (or editing in the grub screen on boot) with the very same error with no success of solving this problem ? anyone have any idea of what is it? I tested with Ubuntu desktop and server (from version 16 to 20) and centos 7 with same result, works a little then dies... one idea is it dies when I try to mound the drivers, but no idea if this is something anymore I really don't know what to do and have any ideia of what can I do thanks \o

my quest continues, and now I think I have isolated the issue, I think the problem is in two raid0 drives that I use just for my steam library, when I didn't mount these drives everything works with no issue... and make sense, the problem is when I mount the drivers and these are old hdd that I used to learn how raid work...

Thanks for the reply, Yes, that can be a issue when using a USB drive for boot... About the SATA_DOM, no, this is standard SATA... I really don't know if this question is linux or hardware issue, as one os my theorie is the hardware conflict between the raid controller and the sata :-/ Anyway, I'll try to create a usb for boot tomorrow, just to test and confirm if the isses is hardware (conflict, old firmware or whatever) or software (os, missing drive or doing something wrong) Thanks again :)

Hello, I've got an old dell poweredge 2950 with two xeon processors and 16gb ram, a raid controller (perc 5i) with 6 driver slots and two internal sata, but I have some issues with it... Idea, use a small ssd drive inside the computer using one of the sata and use the slots to create a nice NAS for my work stuff, steam library and plex... I install Linux os (tested with Ubuntu (tested from version 16 to 20 both desktop and server) and centos 7 with same results), it works fine, I can mount all my raid devices manually by command with no problem, but, when I try to mount it using the fstab it didnt boot anymore, with no error, nothing, just reset... But, when I remove from fstab it works again... So, when it boot and manually mount works, the idea was, create a shell script and run after the boot, so created the sh works when I use inside the console, but, same issues, no error, just reset... BUT, now the plot twist, when I install the os using a drive from the raid controller it works... Some theories, any conflict between raid and sata, but didn't have found anything online about it... What I will try now, just to confirm the theorie, I'll install the os inside a USB drive and I really think it will work, it will take some more time on boot but, it isn't a problem... My question is, someone ever had any problem like this before?? If the usb works its fine to run a nas with a usb drive for boot?? Freenas uses and I think it's a good idea, think about it, it's really easy to backup the image and restore when something go wrong (os update as example) and if corrupt, just restore the image in another drive... My idea is correct or it's bullshit?? My last option is boot with the ssd inside the raid controller and lose one slot... Thanks ^^
