<![CDATA[BIOS emulated SATA in RAID mode]]>Hi,

Is it possible to use Fog to capture and deploy images with a computer using emulated SATA in RAID mode?

For the moment it doesn’t work for my HP PRO SFF 290 G9 Desktop PC.

Now I do have to say I have not tried with the 6.x generation of linux kernels, but the older versions could not see the drives. So the trifecta of the issue is

Intel Raid enabled + uefi firmware + linux kernel == no drive access. If you change one of the variables fog can image the computer.

The reason historically is that Intel has not released the driver interface details so that a linux driver could be built.
