Older versions of that card have good support in the kernel under the
name megaraid_sas, so I would expect that you need a new kernel.
Options:
1. debian-backports
2. unstable
3. install on to another disk, then compile a new kernel
4. build your own installer with a new kernel
It's not clear to me that it is in the kernel before the very
latest, 4.15.
