Is the Fedora installer not allowing you to install to hard drives
located on your RAID card?

FC4 was working. post FC4 is not. 

 

If that is the case, I'm afraid Linux (the kernel, not Fedora) does not
support your RAID card. A quick Google shows the last driver was
compatible with the 2.4 Linux kernel. Fedora 14 uses the 2.6 kernel line.

FC4 was 2.6.11, looks like it may have been jettisoned later.

 

Manually running modprobe will not work as there is no "dac960" kernel
module for the 2.6 kernel and hardware detection is automatic these days
(versus 2.2/2.4 kernels).

Right. How does the HW detection work now ?

Thanks,

Aaron
