RE: Installing Debian on Dell PowerEdge 2400 - SOLVED
Yep, that worked.
Just booted of CD2 then switched back to CD1 for the packages, found the raid card just fine :)
Thanks Barry.

Ross,
I don't know about the Dell array controllers, but try installing from CD 2
which is what I had to use for the install to see my array on a Compaq
Proliant. If I get a chance today I'll dig deeper on this one..
Good Luck,
