Hi, I have the same issue when try to install on Dell Poweredge M915. I try this solution, but at install time if I add inst.dd to the installation. I use idrac6 to install the system and attach the [http://linux-mirrors.fnal.gov/linux/elrepo/dud/el9/x86\_64/dd-mpt3sas-39.100.00.00-1.el9\_0.elrepo.iso](http://linux-mirrors.fnal.gov/linux/elrepo/dud/el9/x86_64/dd-mpt3sas-39.100.00.00-1.el9_0.elrepo.iso) as floppy img and DVD image of RL9 as cd rom image. When the system boot recognize the /dev/sdb with OEMDRV with driver but the installation is hang after that the devices is recognized. ---

“the devices is recognized” Were you actually able to load the mpt3sas driver? Or did it fail before that? ---

I can load the mpt3sas driver but after this nothing happens as you can see from this screenshot ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/f/f8cff0b74f3958733e83792b990fa2d6938fde69.png) The process is stale and nothing happens ---

@votantonio Could you try installing Rocky 8 instead? You need to use the corresponding DUD iso from ELRepo. If this works, it would indicate that the problem you are seeing is unique to el9. ---

@toracat Hi Unfortunately, same behaviour with RL8.6 and relative driver, as you can see from the screenshot-I use the iso dvd image and the driver for RL6. Same issue also if I try to boot the Poweredge M915 in BIOS mode If I press Enter or other keys nothing happens. ![image.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/d/d2863dbf6ad1d222981a19a0a69e2e0a7ed0877c.png) Just for knowledge, I try to install opensuse leap 15.3 and I have no problem. Is there a procedure to build the driver for the iso without use inst.dd at installation process? Also a way to build a custom iso for installation. Maybe the problem is with isnt.dd and that I use a floppy image available from DRAC? Antonio ---
