i note that megaraid.o is already in my standard debian
kernel-image-2.4.20-686 package.  the debian 2.4 kernels also include
the "aacraid" drivers, which are not in the linus tree (yet?) and are
often needed for dells with hardware raid (in my brief experience).

if you are installing off woody install disks, make sure you boot
using the 2.4 kernel (default is 2.2) (see install docs if the boot
loader doesn't make it clear). that should make most things Just Work.
