I've installed a CentOS 7 (CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1611.iso) on a DL580 G3. The initial problem was the the p400 RAID controller driver was dropped for CentOS 7. I found a reference that says to add "hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1". That allowed CentOS 7 to recognize my disk. I completed the install. But, now I get the following message repeated non-stop:
[some number- IE: 132.274411] dracut-initqueue[423]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts
<after many many repeats of the line above>
Started dracutinitqueue hook.
[OK ] Reached target Remote File Systems (Pre).
[OK ] Reached target Remote File Systems.
[ * ] A start job is runningfor dev-mapper-cl\x2droot.device (57min 19s/ no limit)
The system hangs at the line above. I'm not sure why it says it "Reached target Remote File System . . ." I'm not mounting any remote file systems. Everything is on one local disk. Any ideas?

Re: CentOS 7 install on DL580 G3
Did you make the same change in the installed system's /boot/grub2/grub.cfg?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: CentOS 7 install on DL580 G3
I hadn't edited the grub.cfg, but I was adding the commands at boot time. It seems I must have been doing something wrong. I manually added the 2 hpsa commands to the grub.cfg after booting into rescue mode. After that it seems to work as it should.
Just to be clear for anyone who might stumble on this later. The two commands are: hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1 and hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1.
Thank you

But please be aware that these are not particularly supported and it may end up eating your data
