Tried loading dmraid and megaraid* kernel modules but nothing seems to detect any devices. fjp suggested. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/SataRaid I retied the installer using dmraid=true as a boot argumnet. But it still failed to detect any devices. Windows server 2k3 works using the provided drivers on floppies. there is a megasr driver for redhat ES The machine can be reflashed into a different firmware set. and a jumper changed on the motherboard. then the onboard raid is removed and the disks shows up as individual drives. this works ok. But is a lot of extra work. googeling shows that there are many with a problem with this controller the LSI 1068E SAS/SATA kind regards Ronny Aasen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
