run lspci on the system from the rescue mode of the installer disk.
It will probably say something
like Megaraid.

We have a newer motherbaord from Super Micro and we had the same problem.
The motherboard data info says LSI 1068E but depending on the jumper
setting of the board it could be
1078E instead and that is not supported by Linux until a much later
kernel (2.6.32).

Jumper for IT mode and get the IT firmware and things will work correctly.
