[sentinix-list] sentinix on hardware raid

I'm new to the list and since the archive is not working I'll have to throw in a question
you've probably heard a million times.

How do I install sentinix on a server that uses hw raid ?
I tried a dell poweredge first and when I type install it says "no harddrives found".
I read somewhere that compaq smart arrays are supported so I tried a proliant but same issue.

Funny thing is this:
The log clearly shows that the array was found like it says:
Compaq SMART2 Driver (v2.4.25)
cpqarray: Device 0x10 has been found bus0 dev 1 func 0

and all the other stuff. It even detects the partitions and all that BUT
once I'm done booting /dev/ida doesn't exist. Neither does /dev/sda only /dev/hda (CDROM)
It mentiones /dev/ida in the log however. The most bizarre thing is that I cannot insmod
anything cause there is no /lib directory. Then again it looks like you don't need modules
cause the default kernel off the ISO seems to have cpqarray support build in.

I installed it on a regular desktop and I know that modules are set up later but I need the raid stuff
right away for obvious reasons.

What am i missing ?
