Dell uses SATA drivers which are not recognized well by Systemimager. I installed OSCAR on some Dell PowerEdge servers and ran into similar problems at node reboots. If you look at my notes (http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar/wiki/TipLDAP) it should lead you in the right direction.
In your case I would use the drivers mentioned in the /etc/modprobe.conf instead of the ones I used for the PowerEdge servers.
