Hi! Something similar happened to me, first with a cpqarray RAID card (in a Compaq Prosignia 500) and then with a megaraid (in a Dell PowerEdge 4200). In both cases the installation detected the card or let me specify it being found with autoprobe options. I could install correctly but after the installation the kernel could not mount the root directory. I had to create my own initrd image with the module needed (cpqarray.o/megaraid.o) boot with a floppy using that initrd.img and then copy it to the harddisk and reinstall lilo. I tried to report the bug to Mandrake but due to e-mail problems with my ISP I don't know if the bug has been reported. Hope it helps you. (If not, gimme more info please).
