I'm pretty sure the latest update of RHEL (RHEL4 U5) should recognize the disks. Ensure you have the latest, or download the driver disk from the support page:

Hey,

Try to look for a driver disk image for your hard drives or SAS/ATA/RAID controller. You should be able to find a suitable image and extract / burn it to a floppy or CD. Note that the version of such images should match the arch and release of the OS you're installing (ex; RHEL45_x86_64).

At the initial prompt after booting your RHEL CD, you can then type "linux dd" to indicate that you want to load a driver disk / CD before starting setup.
