Installing 3ware 9650se on Ubuntu

[curlee]

First off I had problem with Ubuntu booting from a partition > 2gb.

Everything installed fine but upon reboot I was givin a blinking cursor

I solved this by making a 30gb boot volume within the 3ware bios. I installed Ubuntu to the 30gb boot partion.

After installation is complete

edit /etc/apt/sources.list
add this line:
deb http://jonas.genannt.name/debian squeeze restricted

#sudo apt-get update

#sudo apt-get install 3ware-3dm2-Binary

check to see that it is running:
# ps auxw | grep 3dm2

Kill the 3dm2 process

Edit /etc/3dm2/3dm2.conf
change:
RemoteAccess 0
to
RemoteAccess 1

start 3dm2
#sudo 3dm2

pull up the web interface from your remote computer:
https://ubuntuserveripaddress:888

make sure to change the smtp email server domain name to an ip address or the utility will shut down while sending emails.
