Hmmnn... RAID Controller not supported?

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Fedora on a system with an Adaptec AAA-133U2 RAID
controller (known as a member of Adaptec's "Array 1000" family).
I first configured the array using Adaptec's software on a boot floppy. 4
drives as RAID5 and one hot spare. But during the Fedora install process,
I'm presented with a partitoning dialog showing all five SCSI drives.
I've never installed a RAID system before, but this doesn't seem right -- I
assumed I'd be seeing one big partition representing 3 disks worth of space.
Does this mean that...
--A-- This RAID controller isn't supported under Fedora, or...
--B-- Fedora is finding a generic SCSI driver (there's mention of the
AIC-78XX), and it needs to be "tricked" into finding the correct RAID
driver. If this is the answer, what's the trick to make this work?
--C-- Everything is fine, and I just don't know what I'm doing (if so,
please set me straight).
Thanks in advance,
Allan
