Are you saying:

  RC1 detected a megaraid controller, but it should be megaraid2?

And the used megaraid2 is that wrong or right?

The question is what is _needed_, not was is used.

That still leaves two PCI IDs,
I hope that someone can translate it in loading the proper kernel module.

P.S.

Here no apologies for this eventually harsh reply, just some explanation.
Having reported a bug in #debian-boot is no excuse for being terse.
Tell in a bugreport what you known about it, spent time on it.
Realize that you benefit most when the bug is fixed
and that you will encounter bug again when not fixed.

What I would like to have seen is:

 When the module megaraid2 is loaded, the install works fine

 It is one board and has two PCI IDs.
