daniele: thanks for the reply. i will try that if we can't get the elrepo
drivers to work with the stock kernel.
phil:
i boot from a usb HDD attached to the server, and this raid controller has
my 4TB data LUN.
lspci -nn
81:00.0 RAID bus controller [0104]: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID SAS-3 3008
[Fury] [1000:005f] (rev 02)
this morning i re-installed CentOS8 and so have a fresh, trim install.
still has the same issue; same kernel and release versions as before. have
not installed any drivers from broadcom or elrepo yet.
should have posted this earlier, but here's everything from megaraid_sas
during boot:
[62] root at bfg-9000 ~> dmesg | grep mega
