If you're going to install Debian 3.1 on a box w/one of those nifty Compaq Smart Array 5i SCSI controllers, I suggest you not boot the installer on Linux 2.6.  It does this for Grub and LILO:

Grub on linux26, Sarge

Just boot 2.4.  It'll save you from getting sick while standing in the data center w/out a coat.  <achoo>

I see they never fixed that framebuffer pallette issue before Sarge shipped.  Switch consoles and switch back if the red background is making your eyes burn.

It turned red when that error box popped up.  It was a nice blue beforehand :)
