But after that, I have to install xen-linux-system wich has a kernel 2.6.32, and when I reboot and try to boot from that kernel (xen-linux-2.6.32-amd64) the server reboots. All the other test with Debian stable hangs in the installation when it tries to format the partitions. So, even I will manage to create the partitions with Gparted and install Debian stable, I will have the problem later with xen. But I am just guessing here. >> The conclusion of all this tests is that there is a problem with the >> kernel and the disks, not the raid controller. > > Hum... there is no kernel xen (or I can't see it) from backports. > You are right, there aren't. >> I think is a problem with the disks, because when I used one disk with >> non raid configuration the installation didn't detect the disk, but the >> installation of debian testing did detect the disk. > > Squeeze's stock kernel should support your raid controller card and hard > disks as I told you on the Spanish mailing list, I can't see what can be > failing here. > As I said before, in my opinion, there is a problem with the kernel and the disks.
