help! redhat 7.3 can not find my netserver hard drive

[zachary rowe]

I am trying to install Redhat 7.x. However, i keep getting the "No hard drives have been found... need to manually choose device drivers for the installation to succeed" message. I have 3 - 9.1 gb scssi hard drives installed.

Hi,

Do you mean everything were OK after manually choosing a driver for the SCSI or RAID controller ? In this case, for me it is OK.
The only reason why the driver is not "automagically" loaded by the RedHat install software is that the PCI ID returned by the controller does not match any of the IDs pre-defined in the RedHat driver list.

On the other hand, if you meant RedHat 7.3 is not recognizing your controller, please post the characteristics of you Netserver (model, RAID or SCSI controllers, etc...).

Good luck.

Hey all, i figured it out. i needed to configure the hard drives. i did this by using pressing cntrl-m and entering the hp net array ????

Hi

CTRL+M ?
Are you using NetRAID?
If so, you must create logical drive before you start to install OS.

During the NetRAID initialize, you will be able to see "XX logcal drive initialized" on the CRT. or "no logical drive found" if you don't have the one.

good luck
