Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: RC3
uname -a: unavailable
Date: 2005-4-27
Method: CD install

Machine: Dell PowerEdge 2850 with Perc 4e/Di RAID controller
Processor: 1 Xeon
Memory: 2 GB
Root Device: SCSI
Root Size/partition table: N/A
Output of lspci and lspci -n: not available

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]

Install base system:    [ ]
Install boot loader:    [ ]
Reboot:                 [ ]

Comments/Problems:
Installer doesn't detect hard drives. Other distros detect hard drives, so no physical fault.
Poking around the 'net suggests that the error is because the 2.6.8 kernel doesn't have the required drivers for the RAID controller card used in the Dell PE 2850 (Perc 4e/Di, which is some LSI card, which requires the megaraid_mbox, megaraid_mm drivers).

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
