Hello, I had some troubles trying Owl 3.0-stable on my 'new' HP Compaq Proliant ML350 G3. The relevant hardware is: /* raid controller : smartarray 641 ethernet NIC : BCM5702 (subsystem : NC7760) */
Owl actually boots, but it doesn't recognize the eth card, and the installation stops in a blue fashioned screen when I attempt to go to the first relevant step: partitioning the discs. Notice: no messages - just the blue. (Seems that it stops when calling the partition software. Well, I don't know.) I never had any experience with RAID. I've read¹ that the problem could be related to some missing kernel modules - for the raid (cciss) and the NIC (tg3 or bcm5700). Any help? Thank you! ¹: https://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2004/02/msg00110.html
