While I agree with Alan and Jeff's response about using a newer kernel, I do have some suggestions. I personally had similar experience when installing on newer Dell servers and found the issue to be the LSI drivers. While installation found the hard drive and completed installation, I found that I needed to load the latest LSI drivers during the install to get the system to boot correctly. I checked the Dell site and they do provide drivers for Red Hat 7.3, so I would try loading the appropriate drivers for your system.
