Upgrading from Edgy to Feisty resulted in a similar situation.
It is never able to find the scsi drives.

The machine is an hp x4000 dual-xeon.

As a note: this works fine in debian testing/lenny and all previous
debian releases (back until stable at least).  This was also working
fine in edgy eft.  I have reverted back to debian/testing since feisty
didn't work out (for now).

I've attached the output of lspci.  I am led to believe that it is a
problem with the raid/scsi drivers.  The one in this machine is:

SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1010 66MHz  Ultra3
SCSI Adapter (rev 01)

Again, debian-installer in debian/testing handles this configuration
just fine.  Feisty is very slow while detecting hardware and later asks
me to select drivers.  Selecting the sym53c8xx driver did not resolve
it.

Interestingly, I had this same exactly problem back with Edgy as well.
I was able to install Edgy by first installing Debian/Etch, changing
sources.list and upgrading to Edgy.  The worked just fine.  I'm a little
curious about whether this would work again for Feisty, but I'd rather
not hack it.

After a few months of using Edgy I followed
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/upgrade-ubuntu-edgy-to-feisty/ .
After the upgrade, the system was  hosed (likely because it brought
along the new kernel).  I then tried installing afresh from the minimal
feisty iso and ended up with the same results.

Thanks for reading this!
Let me know if there's any way I can help.
