Ubuntu 14.10 LSI 9240-8i driver installation
By Jessica Wood •
I'm quite new to Linux and just got my LSI 9240-8i I'm running ubuntu on a normal SSD on the Mobo sata port.
i've downloaded the drivers for ubuntu from here: they are however for 10.04 and 10.10, and i have no idea what to do with the provided files in the ZIP.
any guidelines? I've never installed drivers for anything on Ubuntu (or any other linux).
when I run the lspci command i can find my LSI Logic card.
edit: Ok, I've found the .deb file in their Latest Linux Drivers pack. but they are only for 14.04 whilst im running .10 i've installed them but I still don't see any drives.
