[CentOS] HP Smart Array B110i SATA RAID Controller Driver

>Please help me understand.

If the device requires an additional driver, unless its packaged as a dd for use at
install, how can you install and then add a driver?

Disable RAID mode, set it to AHCI, then Anaconda will see all the individual discs
at which point during install you can choose to setup Linux md raid, far simpler
and almost always better than software raid IMHO.

Recovery and monitoring facilities are built into Linux, life's just easier...
