Hi everyone!
I am currently trying to setup a nice little file server for home use.
I intend to evaluate OmniOS as the operating system, but I have some trouble installing it onto an NVMe SSD.
My hardware setup:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 v5
Memory: Crucial 64GB (4x 16GB), DDR4-2133, ECC
Mainboard: Supermicro X11SSH-CTF
System Disk: Intel SSD 600p 256GB, M.2 PCIe (=NVMe)
To run the OmniOS installer, I had to install a SATA optical drive and enable legacy USB mouse/keyboard support in the BIOS (the XHCI controller of my mainboard is not supported by OmniOS).
Now I am stuck at the next problem: The OmniOS installer is not able to see my NVMe disk.
Under Linux I can see the SSD, it shows up as "/dev/nvme0n1", showing 256GB capacity.
The OmniOS installer gives me the following error message: "OmniOS cannot be installed on any disk"
I used the ISO image of OmniOS v11 r151020 (current stable).
AFAIK, this should already contain an NVMe driver, so I am a little bit surprised, why it won't see my disk.
Any hints what I am missing?
Thank you!
Arne
