I am a bit surprised that you install a server without knowing to look for hardware drivers issues beforehand. And that you seem to be a bit helpless. Is this your first server you install? Then I suggest for some reading in Debian documentation. It might be good if you look for some experienced Debian GNU/Linux admin around your place to help you. Paste output of lspci -n into: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ (I just search for "debian driver check page" in case I forgot the URL:) When you are lucky you see minimum version of kernel for PCI id of the card. And with some luck its below <= 3.2. If system is already installed and you are only using the raid controller for data disks, then install 3.2 backport kernel for Squeeze. There won´t be any newer official backport kernel for Squeeze, as 3.2 will also be the kernel for Wheezy. If system is not yet installed I see two relatively easy choices: 1) Get an installer with newer kernel for Squeeze: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ Note: these are no official images. My experience is that they work well. But I do not use them regularily. 2) Use Wheezy. Its partly frozen now, but you still better bring some experience with you in case of problems during upgrades and so. So I only recommend this when you gathered some Debian experience beforehand, especially with package management. And when the workload isn´t too important or critical. Both at your own risk of course. It might also be possible to use Wheezy installer to install Squeeze, but I am not sure of that and have not tested it.
