I bought 2 HP DL360 Gen9 Servers and wanted install Debian Wheezy on those with PXE Boot network install. But it seems that Wheezy does not include a driver for the Smart Array Controllter p440ar/2g
. The installer asks me if I want to continue without a hard drive. I already tried to install Debian Jessie and it works without a problem, but i currently still need Wheezy for my Xen cluster.
Is there a way to install Wheezy?

Debian isn't officially supported on this hardware. You'll be missing some value-add features like monitoring agents and having an easy process for installation.
People have found janky workarounds, though.
