Try this:

This is not a OS, this is a partitioner, your problem is located in this step.
Burn the live CD, boot with it and check if it recognizes your current partitions.
It will load its own RAID drivers. So, your current drivers will not have importance at all.
Because it is a live CD no changes will be done to your hard drives.
Print and read carefully the documentation, FAQ and troubleshooting.
Only proceed if you understand perfectly how to create "
MANUALLY" the partitions and "
how" and "
where" to mount them.
The installers of the OS get confused when they see an RAID array, and install the OS in a wrong partition, or worst, wipe the entire disk.
Also, many times they mount the partitions in a wrong place, so, the hard drive will not boot.
So, you must do this step manually.
Remember, if you still have problems, try disabling APIC.
