Bug: #352336

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic

The Serial Attached Scsi (SAS) diver for "Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
Device 6440" is not included in the kernel. This prevents using SAS
disks with Ubuntu jaunty.
  This driver is included in a number of motherboards (in my case an
ASAS P5N64), and is required both for installation and running Ubuntu.

  The relevant line in lspci is:
08:00.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
Device [11ab:6440] (rev 02)

   Solution: compile "mvsas" module in the linux kernel => option
CONFIG_SCSI_MVSAS

 cf module description @
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SCSI_MVSAS.html

tested on Jaunty (updated 2009/03/30), kernel 2.6.28-11-server and
2.6.28-11-generic:
