I am unable to install Rocky Linux 10 using either the graphical interface or the test option. I have already tried the solution described in the documentation regarding “Grey screen after bootup of installation media,” but it did not work. I am currently using inst.text. However, when I attempt to select a disk during installation, no disks are detected. The installer reports that no disks are available, but when I run lsblk, the drives are listed (NVMe M.2 Intel with Optane and an ADATA SATA SSD). I have already changed the BIOS setting from RAID to AHCI and rebooted my laptop, but the disks are still not recognized by the installer.
When I try to install using the graphical mode, this screen appears and the system restarts.
Does something like Fedora 42 detect the disks and install fine? That way we will know that RHEL10/Rocky 10 kernels doesn’t potentially support your hardware. Then after this, to diagnose further we need output of lspci commands and lshw to find out more detail about your hardware as impossible to debug if we don’t know what the disk controller is etc.
The lspci is best to run with option “nn”: lspci -nn
because that shows device ID (e.g. “Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH SATA AHCI Controller” on my machine has ID [8086:a352]) and (kernel module) drivers tend to list the IDs that they do support. One can get that lspci output even when one has no drivers for the devices.
Thanks to everyone, I was able to fix it. In addition to changing RAID to ACHI in the BIOS, I had to download the Intel software that manages Optane memory and disable RST from there. After that, I was able to access the graphical interface and my disks appeared.
