You didn't specify how many logical partitions are in your raid array.
And also what are in these logical partitions.

support for GUI is very limited in the installer and i doubt your matrox is
supported in there yet, the best bet would still be a text install.

boot from a boot disk and edit the modules file in /boot, make sure the booting
SCSI card is read first.

My two best answers would be RTFM (provided you bought your originals and not
d/l from the web or worst still a bootleg.) or attend the RHCE.
The manual has alot of info and the trainer might even teach you how to do
the GUI
install with your matrox (of course on top of many other things which
you'll learn).
