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. -dsr-
