I see several of you guys say that the Megaraid as well as the LSI-card should work out of the box with CentOS. My understanding is that the necessary driver modules are already built into the kernel. Am I assuming this correctly that the card should therefore be seen at install with no tweaking?

you have to configure a megaraid card so it knows what to do with your disks, either create a raid or multiple raids, or configure it for all-disks-as-jbod. this /can/ be done with the bios, but its really annoying to use, I generally put a copy of megacli on a USB stick and boot my installation media with 'single' to run it, otherwise the linux kernel doesn't see them.
