Yes, it certainly sounds like you've been fairly thorough so far. 
However, have you ruled out an issue with perhaps a DVD that just 
doesn't have all the right bits?   It has happened before to me, both in 
the download and in the burn.   That's why I recommended starting from 
scratch on that.

ALSO... something I have not thought about in quite some time, but long 
ago there used to be RAID issues if the disks were not connected in a 
specific fashion.  Confirm that your disks are coming up /dev/sda and 
/dev/sdb.   That may have been an old BlueQuartz-ism... it has honestly 
been a very long time since I have had to consider something that odd.

If you are still having problems, then I'm not sure where to point you. 
  If you have alternate server hardware available, you might just try 
the disks in another system.  Just to see what happens.   We've 
installed on everything from an off-the-shelf PC to various virtualized 
environments, and dedicated server hardware of all shapes and sizes. 
This isn't something I can recall coming up against myself.   Maybe 
someone else can chime in as well.
