Oh, yeah -- about the installation procedure:
You need an existing Linux machine upon which to compile your patched
kernel. Compile the kernel, making sure to add in MegaRaid support, and
then take that kernel and put it on the Debian boot disk as per the Debian
boot disks instructions (the instructions, which I've conveniently
forgotten, are somewhere on that boot disk as a text file) and you should
be able to install Debian.
