HP Smart array P440 support

[Priyadarshana Chandrasena]

It is saying that missing bootable media and what is found is not UEFI.

Our UEFI stuff is designed so that the defaults will just work... I find it odd that your computer doesn't work with the defaults. IT's BIOS doesn't even consider the USB drive a bootable device?

I tried to install 11.1 but I still have the same error. UEFI boot mode does
not see my usb bootable media as of type UEFI. So still the Legacy BIOS is
the only option. Do I need to create the usb UEFI when I create the usb boot
disk?.

Hi,

Got two DL20 with P440, UEFI booted 11.0 to logical disk (raid array).
In a few days I plan to boot it in HBA mode, we'll see if it's working.
