Why is Debian 10 not installed on HP Smart Array P400?

I am using a decommissioned HP G380 g3 server, with an HP Smart Array P400 Raid controller as a file cleaner.
Over the holidays, I decided to update the OS to Debian 10 (10.2.0).
Faced the following problem:
1. The installer does not see the array.
2. there are terrible brakes in the installation image.
3. lspci reflects the presence of a controller.
4. dmesg reflects the operation of the hpsa driver and the exposure of the controller.
5. forced loading of hpsa or cciss kernel module hangs. ()
6. Debain 9 (9.11) installation image works without problems (the array is visible, there are no brakes)
7. google's advice (mostly a problem with fedora) passing the kernel parameter when loading hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 does not help (the hpsa kernel module , according to dmesg reports , does not know this parameter.) loading models with modprobe cciss parameters also does not work [ cciss_allow_hpsa=1] and modprobe hpsa [hpsa_allow_any=1] .

The solution turned out to be simple, but not a lot of surprises.
The driver in Debain 10 does not work correctly with not the latest controller firmware.
After flashing the controller to version 7.24 ( https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swI... everything worked out of the box
:) I flashed the HP Service Pack for ProLiant with version 2014.06.0 , I will not give a link to google.
