Normally all PERC 4 and 3 controllers should be supported in CentOS
4 ... Support for older Perc 2 was removed from 2.6 kernels but you said
that you're using a Perc 4 ...
You'd better have a look at http://linux.dell.com in the storage section
about support for your controller in 2.6 kernel ...
Anyway, on the support website for your pe1400 i don't see this PERC
4CH, but other Perc 4x controllers ... are you sure about the raid
controller model you have ?
