Intel C236 Chipset driver

Post by damyantd » 2018/03/23 10:06:06

Hello all,

I have a brand new Fijitsu PRIMERGY server with Intel C236 Chipset and hardware RAID. Unfortunately CentOS 7 does not find the RAID controler and can not be installed. Can any one help me?

Are you sure it's hardware RAID? Post the output from lspci -nn | grep -i raid so we can see what sort of controller it is.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

lspci -nn | grep -i RAID
00:17.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:a106] (rev 31)

Yeah, that's FakeRAID not hardware. The best solution is to disable the RAID functionality in the BIOS and set the controller to AHCI mode. If you need RAID on top of that then use Linux software RAID (mdadm).
