Thank you @Jimmy Vance, it works!

Didn't work for me.. Booting kernel 3.10.0-957.1.3 results in the following kernel panic.

Booting any older kernel from 7.5 or 7.4 results in failing to find my disks and I end up in emergency mode :-(

Dear Jimmy Vance,

Since you have supported us so well during the last two times, I hope that you will again be able to successfully support the users with the RHEL 7.7 driver.

Is the topic already on the internal agenda or even in the pipeline?

Thank you very much for your efforts!

Sorry for not responding sooner.  I went back to the releases team and just received confirmation that the drivers for 7.7 have been released

Hi there Jimmy,

I've installed the RHEL 7.7 driver on a RHEL 7.7 along with hpssacli and ssacli and both say there are no controllers detected.

When I `lsmod | grep hp` I can see `hpwdt`, `hpvsa` and `hpilo`. On BIOS, the Smart Array is activated, and using the HPE integrated configuration tool I created a Logical Volume.

How can I fix this?

Did you blacklist ahci on the kernel boot line??

Hi @Jimmy Vance,

Here I am once again asking you about this driver. Do you know if there is a version for RHEL 7.9? This is the definitive version of RHEL 7 so it should be the last time I ask you about this driver!

Thanks
