I've encounterd this problem ones. In almost the same situation a proliant
2500 with 192MB memory and a Compaq smartarray controller.. the problem
was he couldn't format one of my logical drives because a memory
problem. Now doesn't detect linux by default more then I thought 12mb
memory on proliants. You can bypass this by giving lilo the option
mem=xxxM. Where xxx is the amount of memory your proliant contains.
Then try to format the partition again. and mount it.
With kind regards,
Sjoerd Tromp
