I have some questions, ideas, and suggestions. Is control r required to configure the raid?
Is it that you can't "catch" the control r ? Is it that it goes by too quickly? Is the drive detected? Is the drive connected to an on-board raid card or an add-in card? Is the drive SAS or sata? You could try installing on a different non raid disk. Then use the vendor tools to access and configure the raid card using the user space tools.
