I had the same issue. This is what I did:
- Install RedHat 7.1 + XFS 1.0.1 on a regular drive
- Grab the updated firmware and drivers for the 7000 series
- Compile the driver module for the kernel, copy to
modules directory
- Create an initrd (initial root disk) for the kernel with
the 3Ware driver
- Modify and re-install LILO for the kernel+initrd
- Reboot with 3Ware card/drives connected
- Transfer over the partitions
- Boot the XFS installer into recovery mode
- Re-install LILO
I found this to be quickest and easiest.
