    The internal SCSI disk's should always be seen first. I wonder if the fiber driver loaded before your scsi driver which would make it load the internal disk's as a secondary.
     
    If you really want to have it on the secondary disks, do not let disk druid automatically partition your disks. Manually do it and select the internal drives to install to.
     
    Another option would be to remove the fiber card before the install.
     
    Install the OS
     
    Make sure the fiber card driver is loaded as a module and have that module loaded after your SCSI driver.
     
    Then add the fiber card
     
    That might help your problem.

    Hello,

    I am installing RH E3 on a Dell 2650. I have an Apple Fibre Channel card
    (LSI) installed and connected to an Apple Xserve RAID unit (configured
    as RAID5 volume). The server also has an embedded RAID controller which
    controls 2 internal SCSI disks (these are configured as a mirror set).

    Everything is auto-detected properly, and the RAID sets are visible in
    Disk Druid. My problem has to do with the device mappings. When I go
    into Disk Druid to make partitions during the setup, the RAID5 volume
    (the Xserve RAID) is mapped to /dev/sda and the mirror set (internal
    SCSI disks) are mapped to /dev/sdb. I want to install the OS on the
    internal mirror set, so is there a way to reverse this?

    Thanks!
