Hey guys, I'm at lost.
I have a Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2540 M4.
I have 12 4TB SAS HDDs and two on board SATAs of 140GB each.
The drives are recgonized when disks are in JBOD but once I configure them in RAID 1, I can no longer see them and I get a "i8040 error no controller found" while the installation loads files.
Bios and other firmwares are updated to latest.
the Controller is an LSI embedded megaraid
RH 7.4 and CentOS 6.9 recognize the RAID 1 drive but CentOS 7 doesn't.
I also tried loading the RH7.4 drives that Fujitsu has on their website with inst.dd but that didn't work
Any help would be greatly appreciated
CentOS 6 sees RAID 1 drive but CentOS 7 doesn't

Re: Can't install CentOS on server after configuring RAID 1
Are you sure your disks are actually attached to the RAID controller and not to some on-board FakeRAID controller on the SATA ports? It sounds more like you have your 12 x 4TB SAS drives attached to the hardware RAID controller and the 2 SATA drives on the embedded Intel FakeRAID card.
You shouldn't need to download any foreign drivers to get an LSI card recognised, the drivers for that are already included in the CentOS kernel.

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

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

Yes I'm sure. I updated my post with a bit more infoTrevorH wrote:Are you sure your disks are actually attached to the RAID controller and not to some on-board FakeRAID controller on the SATA ports?

Re: CentOS 6 sees RAID 1 drive but CentOS 7 doesn't
When the installation fails -> did you downloaded a copy of the logs?
Did you see anything in them?
