Hi, In the end I had to go with opensuse-11.2. I should have tried it in the second place really, because the iDRAC has Suse enterprise as an installation option, so it was a small leap to think of the free version.
Here are the OSes I tried: FreeBSD 8 FreeBSD 9 NetBSD 5.0.2 CentOS Ubuntu 9.10 server Basically the LSI SA2008 seems very new so it's unsurprising my favourite OS doesn't support it. Hopefully it will in the near future, because this card is a popular option on a popular server aimed at small to medium sized businesses. OpenSuse-11.2 also does GPT in its installation process. I had to raid0 the disks before they could be seen properly though.
