Woody works just fine on an ML350 with SmartArray 641 - I had to install on one last year and it was great fortitude that kernel 2.4.21 had just been released a little while beforehand, because only 2.4.21 and above supports the SmartArray 64x series RAID controllers.
May I ask you how did you manage this ? With an other plain disk ?
I would imagine some kind soul somewhere has created a mini-install CD for the Compaqs as many people have done for Dell equipment.
That was my fisrt idea, but I didn't succeeded in finding one.
Anyway, I've just found a document that could be the solution for me :
Debian Linux Root filesystem on a hardware RAID controller http://www.pocock.com.au/linux-doc/debian-raid-hw.html
I will head on in this direction. I will drop a message to the list if I succeed.
