RE: Adaptec 2410SA RAID 1 with latest Debian Installer
Ok, so far I can't find a single reference to any options I can pass to
the aacraid module from the boot prompt or when loading the module.
This morning, I got rid of the hardware RAID array to see if the
installer would pick up two individual hard drives, but it still cannot
find any.
I did notice, however, that when the RAID 1 is configured, even though
it says no partionable media found, it does report the existance of
/dev/sda with a size of about 160GB, which is correct, so it's sort of
recognising the drivers...
Any further tips at all?

Peter,
I seem to remember using something like "sw,pri=1" at the installer boot
prompt for raid install. ( not sure about it though).
Have you tried to pre-partition using fdisk?
I'll check my notes meanwhile. Good Luck.
