Qubes OS Failing to Boot with an Adaptec Series 6 RAID Card

I removed the hardware raid and erased each disk and after a complete reinstallation and an update to kernel 6.13.7-1, the disks are recognized and can be attached without problems and without the card preventing QubesOS from booting.

During installation, I just blacklisted the aacraid module to be able to boot on the installer by adding an option to the instruction line in the grub menu, for exemple before rhgb quiet :

modprobe.blacklist=aacraid

After rebooting and running all the updates, I reactivated the module by deleting the corresponding entry in the files :

/etc/modprobe.d/anaconda-denylist
/etc/default/grub

And by updating the grub config file:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
