I am trying to install on a DL320 proliant. The disk is not being recognized. It fails when setting up disk with "no devices" found. I dont get an sda or cciss either one. I tried to disable the on board smart array controller? That didnt seem to make a difference. Is there something special I need to do? Thanks, jerry
