Hi, I am trying to install centos 5.3 on ibm x3200 m2 server. The problem appears when the installer is about to finish the installation. It detects the RAID correctly, but it doesn't finish formatting the root partition. I tried the default partition layout and also a custom one, but it always ends with the same message: An error occurred trying to format /. this problem is serious and the install cannot continue.
I also checked the error console (ctrl+alt+F4) and it writes: <3> sd 0:1:10:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
lspci says that the machin has an: LSI Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express SCSI controller Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5722 Ethernet
Has anybody an idea, how to fix this?

Update! I tried to install Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 on this box and they both installed without problems.

Hmmm, my employer has 5.3 installed on similar hardware:
# lspci 05:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1064ET PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 02)
We never had any issues installing. Not to sound so simple, but did you do a media check on the installation CD/DVD before trying to install?
Regards, Max
