Google tells me you probably need the megaraid driver. I know there's been a lot of changes in megaraid in recent 2.6 kernels, so it may very well be that 2.6.8 just does not support your controller at all. In that case and if you really want to stick to Sarge, one option may be the _unofficial_ installation CD prepared by Kenshi Muto [1] that installs Sarge with backports for 2.6.15 kernel, udev and initramfs generators. > How, in general, are we supposed to know the name of the driver > we want to load given the chipset name?

Well, if we have the lspci and lspci -n info we can look at what the kernel thinks it should use for that device id... [1] http://kmuto.jp/b.cgi/debian/d-i-2615.htm
