Of course there is always a solution with debian ;-)
You need a more recent version of the megaraid driver (see
http://www.domsch.com/linux/)
I made one for bf24 for a customer unfortunatly, I forget to save it
....
So you have to build one yourself and put it on a floppy then use
"preload essential modules from floppy" in the debian installer.
You also use a custom bf24 boot floppy like this one:

(probably easier than making it yourself ;-))
Good luck.
