What installation media are you using? I have a lot of 2850s with CentOS - never had a problem with RAID.

I am trying to install Centos 5.3 x86_64 on old DELL PE 2850 server
PE 2850 has 2 RAID volumes ; RAID 1 & RAID 5 on ON PERC 4/DC DUAL CHANNEL RAID CARD
Centos Install can not see Raid Volumes
Any idea ?
Also tried the below option

I triend to start the install with DELL Open manage CD and selected RH EL 5x in the options but the install refuses the Centos CD and insist on RH CD to continue
Any idea to get around this and make Open Manage to accept Centos setup CD ?
Thank you

If it's not a supported os for the omsa cd there is no way to force it. You'll have to install the os from the os cd and manually install the perc drivers.
