Perhaps, I don't quite recall.

OK, so you are using the DRAC? Are you using the virtual media options?
When I used them, they threw off the install as the virtual optical and
floppy are presented to the system as USB devices, which were enumerated
before the install target.

I forget, but does dmesg work when the system stops on boot?

dmesg | grep sas
dmesg | grep mega

I think one of those two commands /should/ return the driver stanza if
it's loading.

I'd also be interested in looking at what grub is pointing to and what /
is pointed at in your fstab.

Yes, I am using DRAC with virtual media because server is located at datacenter.
I think virtual media/usb that causes problems on grub/initrd install.

dmesg works and it says something like this:

megasas: 0x1000:0x0060:0x1028:0x1f0b bus:3:slot:0:func:0
megasas: FW now in ready state.

Yes: doewnload that deb file and put it on a USB disk that is connected
to the machine when the installation start.
