Well that's it...the main trouble is CentOS/RHEL can't see the HD so therefore can't be installed, this is using the SATA/RAID (even factory defaults doesn't work) in BIOS setting but if I change to AHCI, it can be installed but cannot boot up grub or nothing...so I'm kinda lost here. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
