Always have a small disk for the operating system (that is less than 2 TB),
and have separate data disk..

Normal partition tables can't support disks bigger than 2 TB, so you need to
have a GPT partition table on your data disk.

Or then you can use LVM for the data disk.. no partition tables at all.

So reconfigure your volumes on 3ware.. If you can't install with the >2TB
volume in place, first install the OS, and then create the data volume.

Hopefully that helps. 

btw you could also try using CentOS 5.1 (or 5.2 soon).
