We're having similar problems with a PowerEdge 2600, that probably has an identical controller and drives. I haven't had time to diagnose the problem but was able to do an install after removing all but one drive. After booting I was able to add the other drives and rescan the bus (camcontrol rescan all). I didn't verify that I could write to the drives, but camcontrol completed successfully and the drives appeared to be available. When I try to boot with more than one drive it pauses for a long time after "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle" and then prints out a bunch of errors before eventually rebooting. It looks like there's a problem when the SCSI driver tries to probe the disks. I haven't had a chance to try to track this down further, but I will try to get more details in the near future.
