Is the Fedora installer not allowing you to install to hard drives 
located on your RAID card?

If that is the case, I'm afraid Linux (the kernel, not Fedora) does not 
support your RAID card. A quick Google shows the last driver was 
compatible with the 2.4 Linux kernel. Fedora 14 uses the 2.6 kernel line.

Manually running modprobe will not work as there is no "dac960" kernel 
module for the 2.6 kernel and hardware detection is automatic these days 
(versus 2.2/2.4 kernels).
