I just did a test install of a new PowerEdge R200 [1].  4.2 Release
would not install on it.  I achieved an install only with a very recent
snapshot (28-01-08).  So far, everything is working.  I do not have any
RAID card but one that can be purchased with the R200, the LSI/SAS5iR,
is listed as supported by mpi [2] on the i386 page.
