raid arrays are real hw raid on the 3ware card, and show up as very large
disks.
I was trying to install to a single drive (non raid) in the earlier messages.
This is what you said in the OP

The intent is to install the OS onto the 2-320GB drives on the motherboard
controller (preferrably in a raid 1 configuration). The other disks are for
our data requirements.

The MB controller is fakeraid and to use it would require the dmraid support in
the install.
Was your MB setup by the reseller with the 2 320 GB drives in Raid1? What shows
in the Intel Matrix Raid bios?
I have installed Fedora on such a SuperMicro board and we went Raid1 using the
onboard device. What's easy to mess up is the boot order menu. If you want to
boot from the Raid1 array, you have to bring it in as one of the choices. If
you have never setup Linux on a SuperMicro its a little tricky.
