Have been trying to put linux 7.2 on an Intel SRMKU server with a SRCU31L Raid controller.
Anaconda loads the gdth module, however never finds the drives. Have tried several combinations to the install and various gdth modules and nothing seems to work. I have read in several locations of people having issues with this controller, but a solution has not been posted. Here is what has been tried... Server Bios: AMBIOS PT030LEA.86B.0003.P.0105251002 Raid controller: 1 Controller(s) Found, selftest OK scanning scsi bus...
