PowerEdge R640 - OS Installation failure -
Hello folks,
I'm having an issue regarding the installation of CentOS 6.6
the error it displays 'No usable disks have been found',
I've tried without raid but it also fails. I haven't found any solution online so far for this problem.
Please avoid suggesting to install other OS(version).
is there any firmware update that would fits my case?
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
Regards,
Tal

Hi,
Only 6.9 and 6.10 are validated. Page 13 https://linux.dell.com/files/supportmatrix/RHEL_Support_Matrix.pdf

The problem is that the hardware has outpaced the software, so the driver likely isn't compatible. You'd need to load an updated driver into Cent to make it happen.

That may help, its for RHEL6

thing is, it prevents me from making a fresh installed CentOS 6.6
can't I make a firmware downgrade\upgrade to be able to handle the kernel ?

Install 6.6 on a VM inside of a validated OS.

Rahim777,
I would start with booting to the raid controller BIOS and verify that you in fact have a virtual disk configured. If so then the issue is likely the driver file for the raid controller, but being that it isn't a supported OS we are limited on options. What you could do is try the RHEL equivalent found on the support page here.
Let me know if this helps and how it goes.

Hey Chris, I have the virtual disk configured in RAID-1. I have seen that centos 6.6 is not the supported OS for power edge R440. So in that case what can i do. Is there any driver file for this to support cent os 6.6? How can i update the driver if so?
Here is the bios version for the R440 server. Please help me with this.

Hello,
it means to try a controller driver in a Red Hat equivalent format.
Thanks
