    Are you able to acces bios?

    Hi,

    Yes, I am able to access bios through IPMI.

    That looks like it's trying to find the drivers for the hard drives, you might want to check the bios.

    Are you using a raid card?

  • You'll need to slipstream the drivers into your install files. I don't see how you could use a physical USB drive like you'd do with physical access, unless you ask your provider to add the USB drive for you temporarily.

    What driver should I use ? Its a Samsung 120GB SSD. I do not use any RAID.

    When I boot from windows ISO directly I can see the drive, only on netboot installer I can not see the drive.

    You need a driver for the SAS/SATA/RAID controller on the system. The drive you're using is largely irrelevant.

  • I tried to install Centos and SSD is detected only on windows it can not find the drive.
