hey hey hey I am valiantly struggling with getting debian 3.0r1 onto a Compaq ML530 server which has a Smart Array 431 RAID controller (2+1)
I have had Win2K and Redhat 7.x on this server in the past with no problems, but I would prefer to go with Debian if possible. I am currently running RH7.2 on an identical box. I have tried both the "vanilla" and "compact" boot CD's with similar results. After trawling the net I have learnt that the '431 uses CPQARRAY.O, which should already be compiled into the kernel. Unfortunately, the controller doesn't appear to be recognised, and I subsequently get a "No hard disk!" error when attempting to partition the drive. I have searched high and low for a driver disk but could only find Red Hat flavoured ones. I tried one of these but it wasn't recognised as a valid driver disk by Debian.
