Are those raid over a hardware raid controller or you want to create a software based raid? > Whenever i am trying to install it after creating a partition when it > goes to format reboots my system. You can try to install Debian with the partitions already made and formatted, using the Gparted LiveCD. > I have also tried lenny 5.8 which is not detecting my disk at all > neither showing anything missing. Better than lenny is squeeze, now the current stable. If lenny was not detecting your hard disks that can mean that: 1/ Your hard disk controller is very new and the kernel shipped with lenny did not included the drivers for it. 2/ Your hard disk setup is not recognized by the installer (for instance, if you are using the BIOS sata raid facility and so you need to use "dmraid", which I do not recommend at all). > I have tried RHEL 5.4 which says can not create boot partition because > og GPT partitioning scheme.

Debian installer logs messages to console tty4, maybe you can jump into it at the partitioning stage to have more information about the error.
