Ok, aac is in the dmesg. I can see both 2820sa cards in the dmesg, and I see no errors, etc. - there are just no drives listed in dmesg. My setup is 8 500 Gb drives in a single raid-6 array, size ~2.8TB. Any problems with that ? Perhaps sysinstall cannot deal with a >2TB drive ? There are no other drives in the system besides the single 2.8TB raid 6 array ... Thanks.
