I'm running into the same issue... not at my computer ATT, but I am running Scientific Linux (CentOS derivative, I'm pretty sure, as a lot of RHEL instructions get messed up trying to make things work). I'm historically a Deb based tinkerer, and haven't really messed with kernels/drivers much yet.
What I'm seeing is a boot hang AFTER grub selecting the most recent kernel, then a spinning circle on colored screen like it is booting the login manager, but then dumps out to dracut and a bunch of error messages "can't find filesystem".
I am also running an HP server with P400 RAID. I found it cheap. I stuck more ram in it, and I would like to increase HDs on it for home server use, learning docker, and experimenting working towards my Cybersecurity degree, but now i need to fix this...
I tried using the Deb based linux versions unsuccessfully because of the P400 and faulty hpsa support, so now I'm using RHEL and family.
To get Scientific to run, I have been using cciss.cciss_allow_hpsa=1 hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1
I also thought this was a permanent solution. Thanks for the training/update, and I would like to fix.
I saw a reference to downloading a el7 package... should I do that in the working previous kernel, install (rpm), then try to do a yum update ; yum upgrade? (if I'm dumb, correct me now, I'm used to apt update/dist-upgrade/upgrade)
