Can't install Centos 5.10 x64 in a Proliant DL380e Gen8 Server

[Karloche]

Got the following question:

When starting the installation of Centos 5.10 on mentioned server, does not detect the SAS disks in the array.

I have already installed the license key and I have made the array with the ACU application.

I could tell if something needs to be added prior to installation.

Thanks for your help

Actually the driver for RHEL works fine with CentOS. you need the hpvsa driver for the B120i/B320i

This link should take you to the RHEL 5.x x86_64 drivers
