Hi Endian People,

I'm having problems installing the Endian Community 2.5.1 release onto my LS21 IBM Blade.
That Blade does have a "IBM LSI SAS Expansion Card, Prod. Num. 39y9187" installed. It does not have
any internal hard drives, it gets a slice of my RAID mounted at boot time.

There seems to be no driver available on the Endian CD for that SAS expansion card  Cry
The installer does not find any disks that can be used for installation - it refers to /dev/ and keeps asking me if I would like to use that disk (but its obviously not a disk...).

But I thought of something:
If i am not mistaken endian is based on red hat - I am pretty sure IBM does have a Linux driver for that expansion card for Red Hat Linux
and I know from other linux distributions that its possible to load a driver before booting into installation mode.

Even if this sounds like a silly question, but:
if the IBM Support can provide me a red hat driver for my expansion card, will it work with Endian 2.5.1? And how can I load such a driver before booting?
Is that something worth to think of or will I get stuck with such an idea? I am using the Endian community edition for quite a while now at several locations and I really would like to keep it that way  Undecided

Thanks in advance for any hint provided,
Michael

Are you guys able to install on your servers? I am having the same issue with Cisco Cisco UCS C220 M3 Server with raid controller UCSC SAS 2008M-8i,LSI SAS 9266-8i 8.

Any ideas?
