I have been half a dozen of these systems before I rebuilt my FAI 
system.  The
old nfsroots where stretch.  We are a Ubuntu shop, so all of the systems 
I am
building are Ubuntu.  Building VMware VMs work just fine with the newer 
version
of FAI and nfsroot.  The systems that are using the H330 Perc 
controllers are
4.15.0 kernels of assorted patch levels.  The two systems I am looking 
at are
4.15.0-106-generic and 4.15.0-112-generic.  The specific module is 
megaraid_sas.ko.
I am going to try the stock buster kernel in an NFS root and see what 
happens.
