I recently set up a Sarge box, with raid and LVM. It took a while, and
there where a bunch of nits that had to be worked through, but now it's
been running stably for a month or so, and everthing comes back back
after reboots.

Still struggling to get this new box set up the way I'd like it:
- had to install a new kernel to see high memory (thanks!)
- took a while to figure out that a string of "devfs_mk_dev: could not

My guess is that you cuold create a custom kernel with the RAID driver

question.
So to sumerize, I need to access from the install disks an
I have debian running on a similar setup on a HP LPr.
You didn't mention the specifics of your problem, but one problem I found was
booting from the raid array. I found that it was easier to put in a seperate
internal drive to boot from, then mount the raid array.
If this isn't what the problem
I would like to know how I can install Debian on this machine:
DEC HX 6000 server
128 Meg ram
Adaptec 2940 running the CD-ROM
Mylex DAC960 Raid controller with all the hard drives on it
DEC 21x4 network card
single CPU
I have tried Redhat, Caldera and Debian on this system to no avail.
