Hi, I bought a raid controller on Aliexpress but I can’t get it to work. Dietpi doesn’t recognise any hard drives plugged into the controller. Could anyone tell me how to get it to work? It’s a LSI 9264-8i. Thanks in advance. Regards!
You’re using the x86_64 image? (because it’s an PCIe card?)

Yes, the card is PCI-express, I added it to the PC days after installing Dietpi, Dietpi was installed from a USB boot directly on the machine, it is not virtualized
Probably it requires some drivers that are not pre-installed. Theoretically you could ask card provider on this.

I have asked without an answer… I am still waiting… but I have asked the question to see if anyone else has encountered this problem.
Have you checked dmesg and lspci? If it is recognized?

Does LSPCI work on dietpi? tells me that the command does not exist
DMESG, I didn’t know it and it gives a lot of information, tomorrow I’ll read it calmly to see if it shows the device, but suddenly and at first glance it doesn’t come out.
If you notice, there’s not LSI 9264-8i, there’s 9260-4i/9260-8i/9260DE-8i/9261-8i, but not 9264-8i
ok…Ok… I just went over well, and with the command he throws me this:

I managed to see the problem, the controller was being recognized, I discovered it thanks to the command that you indicated to me, (DMESG), and I carried out more checks, the controller required creating raid, so that’s how I got it to recognize the hard drives, thank you so much!!!
