Hi Anna,

Did you fix the problem? how to ?

Many Thanks,

I´m currently trying to install CentOS 7.3 on my Microserver Gen8 using RAID 10. I followed exactly the steps Jimmy suggested but it doesn´t work (extracting the .gz-file with 7-zip on a windows machine, rename to .iso, copy to a FAT32-formatted USB-stick, added the suggested text in the boot line). Looks like there are problems reading the iso-file:

DD: Extracting: kmod-hpvsa

DD: WARNING: DD repo content not a file: /media/DD-2/rpms/x86_64/repodata

Anybody has a clue and can help me out?

"DD: WARNING: DD repo content not a file: /media/DD-2/rpms/x86_64/repodata" is just a warning.

Ignore it & continue installation. See https://luppeng.wordpress.com/2017/02/22/1423/

Thank you, the 60 day license trial did the trick, I was able to use iLo to mount centos image, and the driver worked for me renaming it in windows to dd.img and mounting in iLo as a Image File removable image, and everything worked just fine

Hi,

Things went as described but I noticed an error just after hitting "c" to continue with install:

"modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'hpsa' : Invalid argument"

Previously "Extracting: kmod-hpsa" said to me it got the driver okay

I am doing Centos7 on HPE DL120G9 withth Smart Array B140i.

The driver I was using is:

https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=7304563&swItemId=MTX_090fe0d487ed4bd2b07234b37f&swEnvOid=4184

hpdsa-1.2.10-123.rhel7u3.x86_64.dd.gz 

The line I added was: modprobe.blacklist=ahci inst.dd

I then did Cntl-x that allowed the installation to continue

Any ideas?

Thanks/daveb

Is this driver:

hpdsa-1.2.10-123.rhel7u3.x86_64.dd.gz

only for Centos 7.3?

should I be using:

hpdsa-1.2.4-140.rhel7u0.x86_64.dd

for Centos 7.0?
