In your original message, you indicated that this was a PCI card, but it
looks like this is just a firmware component of your motherboard.

If you're responding to my comment, you seem to have misunderstood me. The
only servers I had that offered fakeRAID were Intel motherboards,
I have opened the case of the server and it's LSI card with FakeRaid !!

It's fakeRAID but I do not know why there's no LSI cards in lspci output !!
To manage the disks; I have to use the LSI Sata Megaraid fireware; so is there
any hope to install Centos 7 on this H/W?
I have three servers from this model and I was planning to use them as test
environment for me.

As far as I know, LSI doesn't make any fakeraid products. Does the
firmware say "LSI" or "MegaRAID"

In the past, the fakeRAID that I've run into were Intel chips, not an LSI
card.

This is the strange thing because when I configured the vDisks; I logged to LSI
SATA MEGARAID firmware.
I got the output of lspci -nn using systemrescuecd version 4.6.1 from

I don't see any LSI hardware in there, at all. Drivers or no, it should
show up. Are you sure it's plugged in? Do you see the LSI firmware on
the monitor during the boot process?

You need to better identify the card and determine if it's one of the
drivers that was dropped. If so, you'd have to build a driver disk and
maintain your own driver builds for each kernel

afaik, the megaraid cards are mostly all SAS, which support SATA drives,
except very old ones were SCSI.
Ok, I do see they had a series of MegaRAID SATA 150-xx and 300-xx cards,
these were 64 bit PCI or PCI-X cards.

Hi;
LSI SATA MEGARAID 95Q9 as I remember.
I have configured it through the firmware and I have created RAID-1 VD.
But when I start the Centos 7 installation; I can not find any disk !!

Dear All;
I want to install Centos 7 latest build on NEC Server 5800/120b-2.
The installation wizard fails to detect the storage connected to LSI SATA
MegaRaid PCI.
Centos 5/6 were working fine with this H/W configuration but not the case with
Centos 7.
