Title: Debian 2.2r2 on Compaq Proliant ML 350?

Hi,

I have to confess to being rather new.

I've been trying to install 2.2 onto a ProLiant ML 350 with a SmartArray 431 with little success. The install guide pointed to the "compact" flavour which should work with "Compaq's SMART2 RAID controllers." which I hoped would also include the RAID controller in the ML350. Not so :-)

I've checked the situation and the SmartArray 431 is supported under RedHAT 6.2 and 7 with cpqarray from Compaq itself (opensource.compaq.com).

I scoured the mailing lists and one person had tried to install Debian onto an ML350 but hadn't reported with success/failure.

My question is whether I can somehow make all that RedHat stuff work with the Debian installation CD's or if I have to create a custom kernel (if so, how?)

If you reply please cc me so that I don't miss anything (high traffic etc.) I will summarize to the list.

Thanks in advance,
