Hi all,

We recently got some HP-DL365 machines with the p400i controller. This
presented a problem for us on Debian ETCH when we rolled the kernel back to
2.6.12.6 as the cciss driver wasn't new enough, and the available ones from
sf.net didn't work out either.

Patching the 2.6.18 kernel, though I am sure will work, is probably not
ideal for production environments.

To not tell a very long tale (2 days long really) of trying various options,
we decided to try and run the supplied lustre kernel for RHEL4 on Debian.
Barring a few very minor notes, the kernel, lustre-modules as well as lustre
package were converted to debs and installed.

I am yet to run any proper tests, however, everything is up and running via
the provided test scripts.

If anyone is interested in further details or wants to throw a red flag up
regarding such a deployment, please do let me know.

Thanks,
