I had a similar problem with a highpoint IDE 133 Raid card... CentOS found the card fine and let me setup everything but would hang right near the end. It did the same thing in 2 machines because I thought maybe the problem was the MB. I even tried different HDs but nope, it was the HP Raid card. Swapped in a Maxtor (Promise) and all was fine. I know these aren't "real" raid cards like the 3ware but they work on home file servers real well.

I popped in both a SI3112 card and a 3Ware 8006LP card and both worked without incident so there's something odd about the HT1000 driver, I suspect. It's really wierd that it would crash at exactly the same point on multiple machines.
