I'm trying to install CentOS7 into HP Microserver ProLient G8. I need to disable AHCI and change array driver as the following site describes.
http://josafatisai.blogspot.com/2016/01/installing-centos-7-on-hp-proliant.html
I did the following command from boot prompt.
linux modprobe.blacklist=ahci inst.dd
and selected the number for the driver media of kmod-hpvsa-1.2.16-102.rhel7u3.x86_64.rpm
Then pressed 'c' to continue after I confirmed the toggle was selected as 'x' forkmod-hpvsa-1.2.16-102.rhel7u3.x86_64.rpm.
However, nothing is happen even showing error message.
It seems stopping or waiting something.
Does anyone tell how to continue the boot menu or how to check the system.
My installer is version 7.8.2003 CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-2003.iso
Additional information.
I also tried CentOS6.7.x86_64-minimal.iso with driver hpva-1.2.8-140.rhel6ux86.dd by following instruction.

There was an error below.

or load another driver disk?
|Manually choose| |Continue| |Load another disk|
If I press Continue ,installation began and soon show following message.
|No driver found|

driver or use a driver disk?
|Select driver| |Use a driver disk| |back|
Then went back to No new drivers were fond messages and repeating.
I found a specific combination that can install.
It was the combination withCentOS-6.9-x86_64-minimal.iso and hpvsa-1.2.16-122.rhel6u9.x86_64.dd.gz
However, I'd like to install CentOC7.
Since I don't have enough time, i decided to upgrade from CentoOS6 to CentOS7.
I get the combination which I can install and change the driver.
It's CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1611.iso and hpvsa-1.2.16-102.rhel7u1.x86_64.dd .
