Hello Oliver, Great to hear from you!! so this CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O is a kernel option I have to include eh? How do I specify this? In the Kernel Config area of the Debian Setup?
I can see the RAID array after I add in the modules using the floppy disc created by http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/preload/ and the installation does seem to go on fine until it can't boot off the RAID array after the restart...
