This is a new Dell PowerEdge 1950 server with a single 160G ATA HD, but
with a PERC 5/i controller. I have been to the Dell Support boards, but
this OS is not supported so they are not obliged to answer.
I have the same server, except for drive size. I had two problems
initially. I had to update the driver for the Broadcomm NIC to solve a
problem with hangs that required a full reboot to fix, and I had to update
the usb driver to get DRAC to work in a virtual console. I never had the
problem you describe.

I'm not clear on why you have PERC5/i with only one drive. Is the drive
partitioned and set up with RAID1?
Here's what I see in dmesg:
