Debian Squeeze 6.x on HP DL360gen8 not detecting the raid controller

Debian Squeeze cannot detect RAID controller on HP ProLiant DL360gen8.
In expert mode when installer prompts that it cannot detect hard disk, open a console (Alt+F2, hit Enter) and then type:

# modprobe -r hpsa

# modprobe hpsa hpsa_allow_any=1

First remove the driver if loaded and then load it again with hpsa_allow_any=1 parameter. Here is the result:

[    1.314375] scsi0 : hpsa
[    1.316649] hpsa 0000:02:00.0: RAID              device c0b0t0l0 added.
[    1.316654] hpsa 0000:02:00.0: Direct-Access     device c0b0t0l1 added.
[    1.316827] scsi 0:0:0:0: RAID              HP       P420i            4.66 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[    1.316958] scsi 0:0:0:1: Direct-Access     HP       LOGICAL VOLUME   4.66 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

Now swtich back to installer (Alt+F1) and try again 'detect hard disks'. Now you can partition your raid logical volume.

Debian GNU/Linux mounting Novell NetWare volumes

This is example of mounting Novell NetWare 5.1 partitions with Debian GNU/Linux (in this case - unstable with kernel 3.2.0).

First we need ncpfs package.

# apt-get install ncpfs

Then we need ncpfs module in kernel (it comes with debian kernel).

# modprobe ncpfs

Novell Context is support.gabrovo.hq
Username is niki
Server IP address is 10.1.42.24
Volume to mount is called - data

# ncpmount -o tcp -S 10.1.42.24 -A 10.1.42.24 -U niki.support.gabrovo.hq -V data /mnt/
Logging into 10.1.42.24 as NIKI.SUPPORT.GABROVO.HQ
Password:
# ls -la /mnt/

Mount options and what they mean as follow:
-o tcp - use tcp (or -o udp)
-S 10.1.42.24 - server name/ip address.
-A 10.1.42.24 - which server to ask for name addresses.
-U niki.support.gabrovo.hq - niki is the user name and support.gabrovo.hq is context tree.
-V data - name of the volume to mount - "data".

If you did something wrong when mounting you can clear all your connections to novell with the following command:

# ncplogout -a
