Hi Swen, Thanks for filing the Debian installation report for the HP ML350 system
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355713 You mention in the report that you were using a sarge version of the installer. I think the "grub install on smartarray drive" failure you are seeing is a known one that got fixed after the sarge release. Unfortunately I'm not sure if the official sarge installer will ever be fixed to work on this system :( You do have some other options though, 1.) If you need sarge... a.) dann frazier has been producing a custom version of the sarge debian-installer that works for more ProLiant systems(including newer systems). See http://wiki.debian.org/HP/ProLiant#hpde b.) There were a couple smartarray related bugs and I can't remember which you are seeing, but for some systems (mainly older ones that don't also require a newer kernel driver) there might be a workaround you can do at install time by dropping to a shell at the right time and fixing by hand. ISTR in one case you just needed to tweak a path in /boot/grub/device.map to be /dev/cciss/c0d0. Maybe dannf remembers if there is a workaround for making the sarge installer work on ml350? 2.) If you can use etch, I think all recent versions of d-i should work. If you try one please submit an installation report and add your system to the wiki page listed above.
