RE: Debian 3.1 installation not detecting my hard drives =(
Hmm...I think there's some confusion here, so allow me to clear things up a little.
1) I am trying to install Debian 3.1 Sarge (at the moment I don't care which kernel) on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 Server
2) When I try to do (1), at the "Partition Hard Disk" section of the install, it gives me the following error message: "No partitionable media found. Please check that a hard disk is attached to this machine"
3) Jorge replied with a couple of links, one of which is for a custom debian-dell.2.4.31 kernel (which works btw, as it can detect the HDDs now), HOWEVER it's for Debian 3.0 Woody, and I want Debian 3.1 Sarge, so I was wondering how I should go about getting Sarge installed. Do I install Woody entirely and then upgrade it to Sarge while preserving the kernel OR is there a simpler way?
Thank you, and sorry if my previous e-mail confused anyone.

However, it did say on the site that it would work for Sarge as well, but I don't see how that would work. Would I have to install Woody entirely, then upgrade to Sarge while preserving the kernel? Or is there an even better way than that?

I thought you said in your first post that you tried installing 3.1; if
you are really working with Woody images I strongly recommend using
Sarge instead (the installer is much better)
there is choice between installing with linux 2.4 or linux 2.6 (Woody
does 2.2 or 2.4)
You can find CD images here: http://www.debian.org/CD/
You can find additional installation info here:
