compaq raid cards
debian-installer beta 2 seems to be confounded by Compaq SmartArray cards. Specifically, in the "Configure and mount partitions" step, there are options 'N', 'O', 'P' (usually repeated multiple times), and some or all of the partitions on the logical drive. Selecting any of these options results in a quiet return to the main menu. LVM volumes will show up on this list and behave just fine.

beta3 problems
There still appears to be a problem installing to a machine with a cciss card; mkinitrd will fail because the devfs name is not present on /target/dev. Also, if one creates a device node or symlink with the devfs name, and attempts the base system installation again, it will fail because /target/usr/bin/awk already exists. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
