Hi,
I just got a new Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 server and I am trying to
install Debian 9.3 onto it. Unfortunately at the disk partitioning
step it does not find any disks. It looks like Debian 9 does not have
the kernel driver/module for its RAID card.
The RAID card is a Lenovo ThinkSystem RAID 930-8i which basically is a
re-branded LSI card. lspci shows the following output:
LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3508 (rev 01)
Any ideas how I could get Debian 9 running on this server with this RAID card?
Best regards,
John

to
name megaraid_sas, so I would expect that you need a new kernel.
Options:
1. debian-backports
2. unstable
3. install on to another disk, then compile a new kernel
4. build your own installer with a new kernel
It's not clear to me that it is in the kernel before the very
latest, 4.15.

Thanks Dan for suggesting some alternatives. Unfortunately most of
them are not really convenient or simple. What about a 5th alternative
which would be simply to "Install Debian 10 (buster/testing)" ? In
theory as it has a more modern kernel version the module/driver for
this new RAID card should be supported. What do you think except for
the fact that this is a testing release...

I think that installing testing is not a great idea for a system

that you (a) update regularly and (b) depend on being up all the
time.
If that situation does not apply, go right ahead.
