I am trying to install on a DL320 proliant. The disk is not being recognized. It fails when setting up disk with "no devices" found. I dont get an sda or cciss either one.
I tried to disable the on board smart array controller? That didnt seem to make a difference.
Is there something special I need to do?
Thanks,
jerry

Then you use a controller on card? If not, you cannot disable this one ;-) Did you configure an array? If not: do!
Haven't been on a Proliant in years, but if this is a RAID hardware card, like Dell's PERC, you *have* to hit <ctrl-whatever>, and create the RAID; the system's access to the drives is mediated completely through the controller, and until the controller knows what they are, it can't/won't tell the system what's there.

Thanks - this was the trick.
