fedora core 3 install does not work correctly with CERC RAID 10 sda

[MistaMaila]

Ok, we have a dell poweredge 1800. If we do fedora core 3
linux rescue, it sees all the drives as a single raid
container, making /dev/sda correctly display as
220gb. We switched from onboard raid controller to pci raid controller to get RAID 10, the pci card is adaptec 2610 SA.

I can modify, create, delete, mount, and write to
partitions from there. On login to linux rescue, it
says "loading aacraid" which seems to be correct.

HOWEVER, on fc3 actual install, it says, on the consle
portion, loading aacraid, but when it gets to
partition portion, it generally fails(but not always)
on accessing/seeing /dev/sda. It ALWAYS fails when I,
for instance, go to manual partition, (which, since I
partitioned in linux rescue[it would not work through
here], it shows all the partitions correctly), and
tell it a mount point, and do not format, it craps out
saying cannot access /dev/sda or cannot see it, or
input/output error, then reboots.

help? Do i need to provide some parameter on booting
the linux install? I can do EVERYTHING fine with the
partition from linux rescue, what's the deal with the
install?
