Hello I’m trying to install RockyLinux 9.6 and I’m stuck. In Anaconda, it can’t find my hard disk. It is a logical Raid 10 volume behind LSI MegaRAID SAS Raid controller. When I’m giving a look at the kernel messages I get this: ```auto [8.427163] Warning: Disabled Hardware is detected: megaraid_sas:1000:0060 @ 0000:02:00.0 is no longer enabled in this release. [8.427253] megaraid_sas: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -13 ``` I thought I might need a Driver Update Disk, but what’s the point if the `megaraid_sas` is already there ? * * * Is there a way to enable old hardware on the `megaraid_sas` module ? I looked at `modinfo` and could not find a relevant parameter. ```auto filename: /lib/modules/5.14.0-570.17.1.el9_6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko.xz description: Broadcom MegaRAID SAS Driver author: megaraidlinux.pdl@broadcom.com version: 07.727.03.00-rc1 license: GPL rhelversion: 9.6 srcversion: FA53FF3D41F1F2EAD6234DF alias: pci:v00001000d000010E7sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E4sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E3sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E0sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E6sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E5sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E2sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000010E1sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000001Csv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000001Bsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000017sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000016sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000015sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000014sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000053sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000052sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000000CFsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d000000CEsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000005Fsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000005Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000002Fsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000005Bsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001028d00000015sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000413sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000071sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000073sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000079sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000078sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d0000007Csv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000060sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00001000d00000411sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: retpoline: Y intree: Y name: megaraid_sas vermagic: 5.14.0-570.17.1.el9_6.x86_64 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions sig_id: PKCS#7 signer: Rocky kernel signing key sig_key: F5:03:24:D1:25:4A:DE:82:57:F2:1C:EE:7C:D6:C7:14:28:E3:FF sig_hashalgo: sha256 signature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parm: lb_pending_cmds:Change raid-1 load balancing outstanding threshold.

It appears your particular device lands on [this page](https://elrepo.org/wiki/doku.php?id=deviceids), according to the device ID. The solution to this would be to use a DUD to have the driver available to you during the installation. 9.6: [https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86\_64/dd-megaraid\_sas-07.727.03.00-3.el9\_6.elrepo.iso](https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86_64/dd-megaraid_sas-07.727.03.00-3.el9_6.elrepo.iso) 9.7: [https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86\_64/dd-megaraid\_sas-07.734.00.00-1.el9\_7.elrepo.iso](https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el9/x86_64/dd-megaraid_sas-07.734.00.00-1.el9_7.elrepo.iso) Just ensure the ISO is mounted alongside the installation ISO. After installation, you will need to update your system and install the kmod. 9.6: [https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el9/x86\_64/RPMS/kmod-megaraid\_sas-07.727.03.00-3.el9\_6.elrepo.x86\_64.rpm](https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el9/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-megaraid_sas-07.727.03.00-3.el9_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm) 9.7: [https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el9/x86\_64/RPMS/kmod-megaraid\_sas-07.734.00.00-1.el9\_7.elrepo.x86\_64.rpm](https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el9/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-megaraid_sas-07.734.00.00-1.el9_7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm) Or… ```auto % dnf update % dnf install elrepo-release % dnf install kmod-megaraid_sas ``` * * * Rocky Linux 9.6 is end of life. Please install the latest version available to ensure proper support and an updated system. ---

It’s working using the DUD link you provided thank you 🙂 ---
