Smart Array B140i SATA RAID Logical drive not detected CentOS (Red Hat) 8

[Crls]

Hello,

I have been trying to install CentOS 8 in a Proliant DL20 Gen9. I created a logical drive including 2 HDD in RAID 1, I followed the instructions in:

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX-b06dcf1c13854c00b464ee8909

to install the B140i driver and everything seemed to work fine. However, the OS installer does not detect the logical drive. I switched to a terminal and ran cat /proc/modules, but the driver is not listed. What can I do?

Thanks and best regards

Hi @Crls ,

I would suggest you to try manual installation by copying the Installation file on a Thumb Drive, and to boot from it using One Time Boot Menu.

Also try the latets Driver and try the installation : https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_326b2de92d5d4e1ba6ce978248#tab-history

Also refer Page Nm 10 : https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=c04441385 and check if that helps.

Thank you
