This is true, but d-i doesn't support booting off the SmartArray because the cciss driver is a module. I already installed onto a DL360, but couldn't install a bootblock. I'll probably have to gin up my own iso. Perhaps I can create a boot floppy with cciss in the initrd in order to reboot and then compile a kernel. I have created a kernel already but it was too large to fit on the d-i boot floppy. I don't want to put too much time into this; our company has a lot of Compaq/HP and I've been asked to find out how hard it is to install Debian. If it's too hard (read: time invested is too high) then we'll go buy IBM instead for the Linux servers.
