[ Please keep debian-boot@l.d.o CC'ed ] Thanks for the information. Discover1's hardware database lists the cciss kernel module for your device. This module is in the scsi-extra-modules udeb in debian-installer. Did you already download debian-installer[1] and try if it works for you? You can also try to switch to the second console and load the moudule with modprobe if the disk is not detected. If you already tried this please provide more information on what you tested and the error messages you got.
