I found a workaround but I will file this away for any future rebuilds as something to try.
I ended up going back to FC4 to install, which google told me would work, and then doing a direct FC4->FC6 upgrade via yum.
I'm going to let the machine run for a couple of days and check for any errors just to make sure that nothing is jacked up.
I'm pretty sure (ok 99.9%) that its a controller issue as when I disabled the controller the install proceeded fine up until It couldn't find any HD's.
Can you just do a noXXX where XXX is any module you dont want loaded or is there a specific list? I have been pretty lucky during installs to not have any issues so I'm not all that familiar with what options are available. If you have a good link to read about this it would be welcome.
Most (not all) of the boot options are described in the kernel documentation:
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-(version)/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
A lot of issues seem to stem from APICs, so I'd try "noapic".

Trying to get a FC6 install on a DL320 G2.
I get past the check media fine, then the problems start The system is just hanging when trying to bring up the GUI installer OR the text "gui" If I go the standard install method then I get the cursor, but nothing else. If I try text, I get a blue background but never any text or options.
I have tried acpi=off apm=off, nofb,i8042.nomux, resolution=800x600(and 640x480 and 1024x768)
try 'nodmraid' option.
