Try "mount -oro /dev/sda /mnt/tmp" (or whatever) or just see if there's a superblock there with "tune2fs -l /dev/sda".
he has a hardware raid set of drives originally from a HP/Compaq SmartArray controller, now connected to a simple non-raid scsi controller. sorry, thats not gonna play no way no how.
Since he only mentioned one device on his centos, there are centainly plausible ways this could work. The original cciss array could have been a single drive, could have been a raid1, could have been a misunderstood hwraid just tunneled through the host adapter as a single driver, etc.
We'll just never know until he either tries or gives us more info.
