[CentOS] Install Centos 6 x86_64 on Dell PowerEdge 2970 and aSSD (hardware probing issues)

[John Plemons]

Hey just coming into this conversation. Here is an Idea.. Why not 
install a SATA card into the machine, one that supports AHCI. I'm 
guessing there is a free PCI or PCI-E slot.

They are made, here is a link, I found quickly with a google search..  
Bang for buck, it could be the cheapest option.

It could save a bunch of headaches.

On your 2970 which series are you running?  II or III
