Can't install Centos 5.8 x64 in a Proliant DL380 Gen9 Server

[Armeol]

Hello,

First i did a RAID 1 and RAID5 with intelligent Provisionning. When starting the installation of Centos 5.8, the server does not detect the SAS disks in the array. I get the following message : "An error has occurred - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your hardware for the cause of this problem."

Thanks for your help.

The DL380 Gen9 has usually the HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller or optional HPE Flexible Smart Array P440ar active (others are possible too), so maybe you have a driver problem with this old version.

Minimum supported version of CentOS/Red Hat on the DL380 Gen9 is 6.5. If you are stuck with 5.8, load 7.2 and install 5.8 in a virtual machine
