C2t2 install on HP DL360. Hangs at cciss

Hello list,

If I am posting in the wrong place, please let me know.

I just got Core 2 Test 2 and I am trying to install on a Compaq (HP) DL
360 with Compaq Integrated Smart Array 5i Controller.  When I just try
to do a default install it hangs at a blue (pre gui) screen with a
message "Loading cciss driver".  If I ctl-alt-F4 I see a screen that
tells me "Aborting ACPI routing and to try acpi=off".  

So, if I do that, 
Boot> linux acpi=off
I can seem to boot all the way through to the gui but when I go to
partition using disk druid it tells me I have no devices.  And yet if I
go to a shell and view the dmesg, I can see it finds my disks at c0d0p1.
If I try to fdisk that device it fails.

Any suggestions?
