linux dd doesn't work, because linux label isn't in the boot
configuration of XenServer (I tried)

I tried this one too, but linux label is not recognized

I tried but the system didn't find my drivers with this solution, so I
tried an insmod then it worked, my raid disk was recognized

And then click OK to continue, you'll see the message "Reading driver disk", after it finishes, it will ask "Do you wish to load any more driver disks?" choose No if you do not have any more driver to load.

Xen is always enabled on XenServer, I see 1 disk Intel megasr thanks to

I've already tried to launch replace_ahci at the begining of the
install, it doesn't work, but i'll try it at the end of the install thanks
