Those raid controllers require not only specific drivers, but also support utilities for monitoring the status of the raids, and configuring them. The Megaraid family started back under NCR/Symbios in the late 80s, LSI acquired what was left of Symbios in 1998, Avago acquired LSI in 2014, then merged with Broadcom in 2016 (as I understand it, Avago acquired Broadcom, but then renamed themselves). Sadly, support for legacy hardware tends to evaporate in corporate takeovers as its seen as pure John, Thanks for your help. I did not want to replace this machine with new equipment, but it looks like I may need to do just that. Here are the results with respect to the lsi raid board for : lspci -nn 02:01.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID [1000:1960] (rev 01) 02:02.0 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Adaptec AIC-7902B U320 [9005:801d] (rev 10) 02:02.1 SCSI storage controller [0100]: Adaptec AIC-7902B U320 [9005:801d] (rev 10) Greg

My suggestion is that you ask ELRepo to offer such a disk by filing an RFE at http://elrepo.org/bugs . Akemi

The driver for your device LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID
[1000:1960] is disabled in the CentOS kernel (C6 and C7).
# CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY is not set
You'd need a driver disk with the required driver to install CentOS on
your system. My suggestion is that you ask ELRepo to offer such a disk
by filing an RFE at http://elrepo.org/bugs .

Akemi,
That is a really good idea. Did not know this could be done.
