我最近在 ebay 上购买了一套 6 台 HP 机架式服务器，感觉价格还算合理。HP 于 2009 年推出了 gen6 服务器。我能够使用 14.04 安装并正确检测服务器驱动器插入的 HP Smart Array 410 Raid 控制器，但在更高版本的 Ubuntu 上遇到了问题（无法检测块设备）。
不幸的是，Ubuntu 14.04 已经到达 EOL，所以我想在服务器上安装一些更现代的东西。
有什么建议吗？网络上是否有任何社区，我可以在那里找到尝试做类似事情的技术人员？
正如下面所建议的，20.* 上有支持，我再次尝试了我的焦点 USB 棒，得到了以下结果：

您需要下载Ubuntu Server 安装映像将 Ubuntu 安装到 HP Smart Array 控制器。此映像包含必要的 hpsa 驱动程序，但用于台式机的常规实时映像不包含该驱动程序。
