I managed to install Skolelinux, with d-i a few days ago.
Briefly I did the following:
[1]insmod cciss right before choosing what Skolelinux profile to install
[2] After first attempt to install kernel fails, edit /target/etc/fstab
to use /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 as / partition, did this in chroot /target
[3] Install kernel-image.
[4] Edit /target/etc/fstab to use the old device as /-partition (not
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1), did this in chroot /target
[5] In chroot /target
mkdir /dev/cciss/disc0
ln -s /dev/cciss/c0d0 /dev/cciss/disc0/disc
ln -s /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /dev/cciss/disc0/part1
then run lilo from Main-menu
This works.
I'm not sure how "correct" this way of doing it is, or if it is really
stable, but at least I managed to install a new smp-kernel afterwards on
this machine, which is a ML350 G3. The machine is not yet in
production, so I can't say that this is a stable solution.
The next thing is to get the new HP Systems Insight Manager installed,
as soon as they release the linux version. So far I have briefly tried
to get the Compaq Health driver installed, without success,

There is some bugreport on this machine in the Skolelinux-project,
<URL:http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=589>
All done in the spirit of "looks hairy, but it works".
