Tried detecting the hard drive with DISKPART in the command prompt Windows Recovery Environment? I'm no good with Linux / BSD OS's so if those are the only ones you have, I dunno..
This a server computer, and with only 512mb of RAM, it will struggle with modern desktop Linux environments (OpenSuse is KDE-based). If these servers are still around you, use other servers for memory donors.
Go to IBM support page for that server, and check what Linux versions are supported. You might have to go back couple of releases to find a Kernel supporting your server.

I suspect it is simply the case that the installation disk you are using doesn't have drivers for the IBM ServRAID-7e controller. As suggested by Alabalcho, you should use one of the distributions that IBM supports for this server. Otherwise you may need to compile a custom kernel to get the disks recognized. I don't think it's a question of the kernel being too new, just that it doesn't have support for the RAID controller compiled into it.
