I'm trying to set up a new server running on an old Dell Poweredge 2500 
which contains a Dell PERC 3/Di Adaptec-based RAID controller running 
RAID 5 on three disks. When the install boots up it comes along and says 
that it does not detect any disks to install to. I dug around in Google 
and saw some older posts eluding to disabling the aha* and ahc* drivers 
via the UKC, but that did not help me. Since it is an Adaptec card, I 
even tried 'enable aac*' but that did not seem to load anything.

I am wondering if this card is actually supported, or if anyone has been 
able to get it to work easily. I've got conflicting compatibility 
reports as http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html does not list it, but the 
INSTALL.i386 file does.

As far as the card and hard drives go, they still seem usable as CentOS 
3.4 and Ubuntu 6.0.6.1 will install with no problems, so I'm leaning 
away from hardware failure.

If I need to I can submit a bug report to bugs@, but the IRC channel 
directed me here first :)
