Installation woes on a DL320 G2

[Larry]

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.

Thanks for the information.
