Dear All; I want to install Centos 7 latest build on NEC Server 5800/120b-2. The installation wizard fails to detect the storage connected to LSI SATA MegaRaid PCI. Centos 5/6 were working fine with this H/W configuration but not the case with Centos 7. Please; advise. Fawzy Ibrahim Redhat Certified Engineer

If this hardware is old enough, it's entirely possible that it's no longer supported out of the box. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Have you configured the server, via the firmware, to present the drives or RAID as a logical drive? Some of those controllers won't let the server find the drive if you haven't done that. mark
