Promise 20276 is in deed a "fake" RAID controller.
You should get to use that with dmraid,
but up to now (with FC4) it is not supported by the anaconda
installer.
You should see 2 drives instead of a single one.
Or did you setup Linux software RAID with DiskDruid?
finish the installation and reboot the machine, I have this error:
Missing operating system
When you use Disk Druid what partitions are created? Even if the drives
are set as a RAID you should see both drives in Disk Druid. If you want
to RAID them you can do it there.

You can try putting /boot on a non-raided partition.
Now that I think about, lvm2 may not even support booting from a raided
partition.
In the event that you have concerns, remember that it's only accessed
while the machine is booting (and during kernel updates/updates) and you
can always create a backup of it on a raided partition if you'd like.

lvm2 does support booting from RAID ( under FC3 at least) am I am
using it. Just make sure that you install grub on BOTH drives.

oops! DP may be right you can not have /boot on lvm2, grub does not
anything about lvm (I am too use to lvm on HP).
However you can have /boot on RAID so you need at least 2 partitions,
one so that grub can find the kernel with the other (or more) for the
rest of the file systems.
The /boot partition must be either an ext2 or ext3 filesystem and your
kernel need to support an initial ram disk (initrd).
Also if you make a custom kernel, later that is, leave the raid software
as loadable modules else the auto activation of the raid devices at boot
will not happen.
Sorry about the multi-posts on this, had to search for the doc that I used.
