My question is, why are you choosing a distro, with a possible 13 month lifespan, to install on a server? You'd be better off choosing something like Centos or RedHat proper.
If your using the LiveCD, it's not as configurable as the Install DVD, so your disk recognition could be due to that.

Are you sure that the Fedora disk has the correct cciss driver for the P410i smart array RAID controller? That is one of the problems I read about when I read threads about problems with hard disk recognition during installation on this server.
I am not experienced with setting up raid controllers, so you really need to find someone who is.
If you google "Hp Proliant DL380 G6" you will find much information regarding this, including this thread which has links to help find the correct driver.
