All,
As of my last test, using the 2.4 boot cd from
people.debian.org/~blade/... I was able to do a "normal" install on both a
Compaq ML370 and a DL380. Both worked just like you would expect! GREAT!
There were a lot of packages that needed to be updated and tested to get
the cciss support working but after a couple of months (I think) all is
working just fine.
Hope this helps,
Loren
