Removing the USB-based CDROM and installing a proper CDROM in the chassis resolved this.
The USB signal/device was conflicting somehow with the normal sequence of loading the proper drivers to configure filesystems. BIOS adjustments didn't work either, so there you have it. Machine up.

In an attempt to load 64 or 32 bit centos 4.3 and get it to see my hard drives/ raid array, I see the following errors for the Adaptec SmartRAID V and the Silicon Images sata_si1 items:
Karanbir mentioned running at least these commands to determine the proble... Any way to correct this so to get an successful install?

I'm trying to install either 32-bit or 64 bit centos 4.3 and I keep getting an error:
"No valid devices were found on which to install filesystems".
it cant find your hard drives, what controller do you have ? its possible that you either need a driver disc or the controller is not supported at all.
lspci -v; lspci -n, after a 'linux rescue' boot, would help in locating the issue.
