I just went through the same problem on a DL380 G1.  The problem is that
the "cpqarray" module needs to be part of the initrd image.  You either
need to recompile the kernel with this driver built in (slow on our
older hardware), or rebuild the initrd to include this driver (much
faster).

I documented the first way here:

To do the shorter method, you can follow the above steps 1 through 6, but 
instead of recompiling the kernel you can just rebuild the initrd file with 
these steps:
1: Use an editor to edit the  /etc/mkinitramfs/modules file and add a line with 
"cpqarray" at the end.  (no "#" at the beginning of the line.)

2: Then rebuild kernel initrd with
  /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-<kernelversion> <kernelversion>
i.e. /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-28-686 2.6.15-28-686
(assuming you have "linux-image-2.6.15-28-686" installed on your system).

When you reboot, this kernel should work now.
