Hey all, So, I was curious if there’s anyway to add the ELRepo before installation and be able to use that to recognize the disks I have? I think the only place I seem to be able to find drivers for the LSI card I have (LSI SAS9211-8I) is in the ELRepo. Rocky does not appear to be able to see the…

There is a nice tutorial video. [How to install CentOS/RHEL 8 with LSI SAS2008 controller | ELRepo driver disk] Many people found it helpful. The author is replying to every question asked.

Yes. Not repo, but Driver Update Disk (dud). See The ELRepo Blog: RHEL 8.0 and support for removed adapters Run lspci -nn to get device ID. Then check ELRepo | DeviceIDs Look up the appropriate dd-***.el8_6.elrepo.iso from the Index of /linux/dud/el8/x86_64 Then you can append to installer kerne…

Is there a way to get a terminal interface during installation? This has never really been an issue with me in the past since usually the hardware is supported out of the box. But now I’m dealing with a mix of new SSDs in old hardware. So, I have clean disks I’m trying to use inside this server.

OK, so with the device listed as 1000:0072 which gave me: pci 1000:0072 kmod-mpt3sas So, found the device link at: https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86_64/dd-mpt3sas-39.100.00.00-1.el9_0.elrepo.iso Then once I booted, pressed ‘e’ in my case (UEFI), then I managed to get the GRUB screen and went t…

Is SecureBoot enabled by any chance?

I don’t believe so, but let’s assume either case. I believe I left it off because I know that can cause issues
