XCP-ng 8.3 No Longer Compatible with Older Adaptec RAID Card?
-
@dkg Oops sorry I thought you were someone else having the same issues.
-
I am using a translator because my English is limited. I have 5 identical servers equipped with Adaptec 6805 controllers. Previously, I bypassed the controller issues by using an alternative kernel, but that triggered network problems—specifically, network bonding is unstable on the alt-kernel.I have tested your evaluation image, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue. Later today, after my work shift, I will provide the logs and output from dmesg.I am ready to fully cooperate to fix this and can even arrange remote access via IPMI if needed.

@niko thanks, that would help a ton!

Hello, sorry for the delayed response. We had some issues with the Supermicro IPMI and were waiting for a resolution. Here are the two log files:dmesg_xcp-ng-8320250606-aacraid-legacy.log dmesg_xcp-ng-8320250606-aacraid-uefi.logThe alternative kernel did not work with your xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606-aacraid.iso.
I am also providing the log after installing the standard xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606.iso:
The files can be found at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1H-0FEruGK26oclD2WInDSOBJhVW2k8Xz?usp=sharing, as I wasn't able to upload the log files directly to the forum.
I am also ready to participate in any further testing of new images, up to and including XCP-ng 9.0.

Any news about issue?

Since I'm the happy owner of this controller, if there's no urgent solution, then tell me which models are definitely compatible with 8.3?

The Adaptec ASR-71605 was released in 2012, that's 14 years old. I'd use https://hcl.xenserver.com/search/?type=storagecontrollers&support_status=supported&page=1 to find compatible controllers if you need help.
But yeah... 14 year old controller...

14 year old controller
it supported and has a driver. Whats wrong?
I can't find that storage adapter on the HCL, were you able to? But the summary I have here is replace the old really old adapter.
How reliable can't this card still be after working for so long?
