HP Smart array P440 support

I tried to install 11.1 but I still have the same error. UEFI boot mode does
not see my usb bootable media as of type UEFI. So still the Legacy BIOS is
the only option. Do I need to create the usb UEFI when I create the usb boot
disk?.

Hi,

Got two DL20 with P440, UEFI booted 11.0 to logical disk (raid array).
In a few days I plan to boot it in HBA mode, we'll see if it's working.

A few messages:
