I had a similar problem on a Dell PE600SC and Red Hat v9.
In order for the Dell CERC (megaraid) device to be /dev/sda, I
had to set the an option in the CMOS;
Setup CMOS Hard-Disk Drive Sequence
1. System BIOS boot devices
2. Slot3: CERC ATA-100/4ch (bus 00 dev 05)
3. Slot5: 3ware Storage Controller
Moving the cards around and setting the above options did not make a
difference to what the POST saw. Linux, however, did notice a
difference when I configured the above CMOS options. By default, the
3ware card was being seen before the Megaraid by Linux.
Thanks,
Frank
