What Is causing these issues when using a sas HBA card?

[IR76]

So I've got a spare pc I've plugged in the SAS HBA card and connected a sas drive to the card and fed it power via the cables already in the pc.

At first I didn't connect it's power so it booted into my usb of Linux mint fine.

 

Then I gave It power then this showed 

 

Could not create MokListRT: Volume Full

 

Could not create MokListXRT: Volume Full

 

Could not create SbatLevelRT: Volume Full

 

Could not create MokListTrustedRT: Volume Full

 

Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed: Volume Full

 

When I took out the usb of Linux mint this came up upon next reboot.

 

SendForm Unsupported

 

SendForm Not suppored Nestedly or from Valid Setup Context!

 

 

Any ideas or solutions because I'm confident it's something to do with the card and maybe the bios needs adjusting for it.

Ill try to find out but it's now not letting me into the BIOS even when I spam f2 or delete

You said you hooked up power but this one is unpowered? What slot did you plug it in to?

 

Also is the board in uefi mode and not legacy?

The sas card went into the x16 PCIE slot on the motherboard where the gpu was,

I plugged in the mini sas to sas cable into the card then into the drive,

 

Then I took the power cables used for sata drives in the pc to power it.

Where do I check that? I've found legacy usb support and it's enabled

Those cables can easily give a problem

That HBA may not support UEFI mode, try legacy aka BIOS. The other thing to try if you can is a PCIe slot that is connected to the chipset not the CPU.

 

Also where did you get the SAS disk from? Is it out of a SAN system, those sometimes have special formatting on them that need to be removed to use them normally.

How do I get legacy mode? Also the drives came from a family member of a friend who I'm guessing had their own san at home

Go in to your BIOS settings and in there you will find a setting to select UEFI or Legacy mode. Usually under boot settings. As for the SAS disk it may not have come from a SAN since servers can have them as DAS etc. 

 

The SAS card you have does support UEFI but only with newer firmware. What I would do though is unplug the SAS disk and plug in any SATA HDD or SSD you have and see if it gets detected, that'll show you if the SAS card is actually working and/or the SAS disk itself is the problem.

The blank ssd I have in it is always detected and thanks I'll give that a shot
