I'll check this later next week. I did check the 2.2.17 kernel for the 
aacraid driver but they just aren't there. I could find them in the 
2.2.16 kernel. Currently the server is running with the 2.2.16 kernel 
and the aacraid raid controller. 

So I did need to compile my own kernel but the 2.2.17 did not 
contain the aacraid driver. Since I downloaded the 2.2.17 kernel 
which comes with debian I was at the wrong track... Also from the 
dell side I could't find a clue which driver to use. One of the other list 
members pointed out that it was the aacraid driver.

To be final. Everything works fine now :-)
