The physical RAID controller has no relevance here. ESX does not directly present it to VM's.
It sounds like RHEL 4 does not have a driver for the virtual SCSI controller that ESX presenting to the virtual machine guest. If ESXi is similar to the full ESX, there are two that it can emulate: An old Buslogic design and an old LSI design. Try switching the types and see if RHEL 4 gets any further.
