We support contollers which use the newer HP driver hpsa
for a list of controllers and which drivers they support, please see:
http://cciss.sourceforge.net/
The P400 and P800 show they are supported bu cciss only.
Some users were able to run hpsa fine on older controllers by adding the following boot options to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf:
cciss.blacklist=yes modprobe.blacklist=cciss hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1
but this is may not work in all cases and is not officially recommended.
you can know which driver is loaded via
lspci -v
