personally i don't have any experience with intel raid on board, however 
  i would be suspicious about it. quick search on google brings for 
example the following:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/does-debian-4.0r1-has-full-support-for-intel-q35-express-608815/

reading further, you might have more 'serious' problem:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494532
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452134

if the installation kernel doesn't recognize the raid or the sata 
controller (drives), it doesn't matter whether you use minimal install 
or full dvds - i think the kernels are the same. in this case, only 
using newer kernel *might* help.

i don't know whether your RAID controller does not get recognized, or 
the the drives (sata controller) themselves. if only the former is the 
case (try disabling the raid in bios), why wouldn't you use the software 
raid capability of linux? it seems to me that the on board raid 
controller might be 'fake-raid' anyway.

maybe somebody at this list with more experience will be able to provide 
more help.

best,
