Poweredge 2950 with SAS6 and Debian Lenny 5.0.2
Hello, I manage to install the OS but after restarting server it hangs at boot.
The server is setup with 3 sata discs, 2 of them with raid1, the third without raid.
I have not configured the no raid disc and I'm trying to boot with the raid1 virtual disk.
As I said above the server starts and runs all the firmware info etc.. when the OS is supposed ti boot it hangs.
Thanks,
Ozz.

I wound up finding the real problem.
The boot loader wasn't doing a good job in identifying all the different devices connected.
I managed to get it going by building a supergrub disk and leaving it in the dvd drive, it does find where to boot from and all I need now is the time to figure out what to change in grub in order to not be dependent on the disk.
Ozz.
