Hello!

Maybe someone can help me with this.

I was using Oracle Linux 6 on an old server with a ServRaid 7k controller. When trying to install OL7 or OL8, the drives are not recognized. I know it was using IPS kernel module on OL6. I went to elrepo.org <http://elrepo.org>  to search for a suitable driver, but could not find anything appropriate. There are much more options for OL8. Does anyone know if any of those drivers allow the installation? In the meantime I've reinstalled oracle linux 6.5 but I don't know how to build/extract ips.ko or some source rpm to load into the installer. I've queried all installed packages but none provides information about this module and controller.

How can I install OL7 or 8 into this server?

Thanks and regards.

Dave

 

You would need  a DUD image for the ips kernel module for the installation.

 

What is the device ID [xxxx:yyyy] (shown by "lspci -nn") ?
