Perhaps, I don't quite recall.

OK, so you are using the DRAC? Are you using the virtual media options?
When I used them, they threw off the install as the virtual optical and
floppy are presented to the system as USB devices, which were enumerated
before the install target.
I forget, but does dmesg work when the system stops on boot?
dmesg | grep sas
dmesg | grep mega
I think one of those two commands /should/ return the driver stanza if
it's loading.
I'd also be interested in looking at what grub is pointing to and what /
is pointed at in your fstab.
