I am trying to install Debian etch on a Compaq Proliant ML350. During
the installation process some hardware is recognized, the network card
too, and gets an IP address from the DHCP server. Before partitioning, a
message appears saying that the installation procedure can't find the
disks and asks to choose a driver. The machine has an Adaptec SCSI RAID
controller configured as RAID 5 with 3 disks connected to it. I tried to
choose some options, no way to go further. There is already a Debian
installation on this machine, so Debian works, but it's a woody with a
2.4 kernel. Now I want to format and start with a clean Debian
installation. Moreover I have installed etch on more modern HP servers
without problems. Any suggestion to complete the installation on this
machine?

if you won't install etch by net-ist, try to set up the network and
the card network after the installation.

Confirm that you want to replace Woody with Etch rather than leaving
Woody intact and installing Etch on a different set of partitions
(perhaps with dual-boot).
If you want to replace Woody, have you considered just doing an update
to Sarge followed by an update to Etch?
Is it possible that Linux has removed support for the SCSI card in the
Etch kernel? Which generation (G#) is this proliant and which adaptec
scsi card?
Doug.
