smart array 5i (compaq ml 370) and potato
Hello,
I have some problems for install a potato debian (2.2.19pre17) on a
compaq proliant ML370 G2 with smart array 5i option.

It's seem that smart array 5i is an adaptec 7899.
I make on raid 5 volume with 3 disks.
Here you are a part of boot messages :
md driver 0.36.6 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8

scsi : 2 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
Then, installation tell to me that I don't have any hard disk ...
Y try many argumetns on boot with many kernel (the 3 1th cd of potato)
aic7xxx=no_probe, no-reset, irq=11,no_probe and nothing work, I alway
have the same message.
I try the netinstall woody cd's too.
On the Compaq's site, they give some driver for RedHat 7.0 and 7.1
whithout any source.
For the 7.0 : kernel 2.2.16 je pense
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/10868.html
For the 7.1 kernel 2.4.?
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/10859.html
I try :
* the aic7xxx.o from debian potato 2.2.19pre17 but it talk to me about
symbol problem.
* the cciss.o module from a slackware 2.2.19 but it talk about a kernel
version problem and the --force don't change any thing.
Finaly, I not sure the problem is a driver/module.
