Summary0001362: PERC 5i not recognized by anaconda on AlmaLinux 8.8 install
DescriptionSimilar to ticket 1167 but in my case AlmaLinux 8.8 installer on a DELL PowerEdge 2950
dual Xeon 5430 don't recognize the RAID controller PERC 5i which was always automatically recognized
since RHEL 5 to ScientificLinux 7.9.

I tried the workaround with the following post reference, I tested with several ElRepo modules intended for
the LSI RAID boards but I get a modprobe error after indicating the secondary USB stick with the elrepo drivers
Reference : https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1167

Any help, I also failed on Centos Stream 8 but is known that ElRepo don't support it.

Any help, never imagined these barebone servers were discarded by RHEL, very still useful pieces of hardware
TagsNo tags attached.

Solved use the download option with the module version 7.719.03.00-1 that is a bit newer than the one used by the user in
ticket 1167, the parameter (uting tab key) for the installer :

ip=dhcp inst.dd=https://elrepo.org/linux/dud/el8/x86_64/dd-megaraid_sas-07.719.03.00-1.el8_6.elrepo.iso

Supposing a dhcp server is on your LAN and you have access to the internet, not tested the installation yet but at least
the PERC 5i was detected and shows the partiitions on the discs

I have rebuilt packages against the RHEL 8.8 kernel and uploaded for release:

kmod-megaraid_sas-07.719.03.00-3.el8_8.elrepo.src.rpm
kmod-megaraid_sas-07.719.03.00-3.el8_8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

I have also released new DUD images for el8.8:

dd-megaraid_sas-07.719.03.00-3.el8_8.elrepo.iso
dd-megaraid_sas-07.719.03.00-3.el8_8.elrepo.SHA256SUM.asc

All should be available on mirror sites shortly.

We would appreciate any feedback on whether these packages fix the issue for you.

Just seen your previous note - glad the partitions are showing up under 8.6. If you are able to try the latest 8.8 release, feedback always appreciated :-)

Thanks
