The hardware RAID level has no bearing on this problem. > This is quite weird. How have you setup the hard disk controller at the > BIOS? What are the available options for a non-RAID layout (JBOD)? The LSI RAID cards require creating a single drive RAID0 to enable JBOD use of a disk. But the problem here isn't the controller, but likely the driver revision used in the Debian 6 installer, or something else in the block layer of the installer kernel. > Hum... this is interesting.

I don't speak/read Spanish, but you responded multiple times regarding the 9240-4i on the Debian Spanish list, regarding the same IBM X Series server. Thus when I started reading your responses here I assumed you had the answers the OP needed. :) >> My question is, do I have to load some drivers for that kind of disks >> during the installation? It's not "that kind of disks" it's "this RAID controller". It appears you have no prior experience with RAID controllers, and specifically the LSI controllers. That my be part of this problem as well. Hard to tell at this point. > If the kernel supports the RAID controller there should be no need to > load additional drivers. The fact that only a hard disk is detected when > you have configured a RAID 5 setup means the card is properly recognized. Agreed. >> What can I do?

Or create an LVM volume of the entire space and install Debian to the LVM device. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
