CentOS 6.8 : no usable disks have been found
Hello
I have a Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX1330 M2 server with intel C236 chipset.
On installation the installer states : no usable disks have been found
I am using this minimal iso : http://mirror.unix-solutions.be/centos/ ... inimal.iso
Can it be that the support (drivers) for this chipset is not in the minimal package ?
Thanks.

Minimal and DVD have the same set of drivers.

Do you have the drives configured for RAID using the on-board RAID system?

Hello
yes RAID is configured using the on-board RAID system (2 disks in RAID 1).
In previous CentOS versions (6.6 & 6.7) this makes me see 1 disk in the installer that I can begin to partition.
Now with CentOS 6.8, I have the 'error' of "no disks found". Although it may also be the new chipset on the main board.
Therefore my question...

There is a download on Intel's site which includes support for RedHat 7.x

Re: CentOS 6.8 : no usable disks have been found
Hello
so I should use CentOS 7.x ?
There is no support for CentOS 6.x ?
Unless there is a way to get this driver into a CentOS 6.8 installation ?? Can I use a live dvd to install the drivers and see the disks (and make installation from live cd in GUI) ?

Re: CentOS 6.8 : no usable disks have been found
You could disable the RAID so that the drives show up as connected to AHCI controllers and use software RAID in your installation.

Using CentOS 7.3, still no disks found.

This has the smell of FakeRAID about it.
Did you go into your machine's BIOS and tell it not to use RAID and use AHCI instead? That should get the individual disks detected by the installer and then you can set it up using software RAID which is generally far more reliable than FakeRAID.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
