I am trying to install CentOS 5.6 on HP DL 180 G6 which has HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver. I have 4 * 500 GB SATA HDD and configured RAID 1+0 using System BIOS, the BIOS detects usable disk space as 940GB disk space, when i start installing the OS, it does not detect HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver As per http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lan... Is there a way to get .iso file during installation of CentOS Linux ?
As mark said, did you create one (or more) logical drive(s) after you created the array? About the driver, they say: "The successful installation will replace the driver that shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5" which seems to imply that a working driver exists already... Also, remember for later that many hp tools/drivers do check the /etc/redhat-release for a specific Redhat release string... If they see "CentOS ..." instead of "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)", it won't install.
