Summary0000630: RAID controller for popular sil3114 chipset in CentOS 7
DescriptionNearly every affordable SATA RAID controller on the market today utilizes the SIL3114 chipset. Unfortunately, however, it appears that RHEL/CentOS 7 is no longer supporting this chipset by default, and the installation environment does not recognize my disks that are served by this controller.

Would it be possible to build a driver package for CentOS 7 that would add support for this chipset and the ability to recognize an array served by one of these controllers in the installation environment?
Additional Informationhttp://www.siliconimage.com/support/ states that the more modern kernels all support it by default. Apparently not in this latest release for CentOS 7.

Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

We will look into this. But no ETA.

We'd like to get the Vendor:Device ID pairings for the controller. Can you show us the output from 'lspci -nn' ?

Here's the output on my system. Currently, I haven't been able to figure out how to get my compiled HPT driver into the dracut initramfs, so my boot device is an old 3ware that is still supported in EL7 for whatever reason.

Packages seem built already for RHEL/CentOS8 meanwhile: https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=928 for example.

Hi,
This device:

 04:03.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: 3ware Inc 9xxx-series SATA-RAID [13c1:1002]

should already be natively supported by the RHEL7 3w_9xxx kernel driver:
