That seems to be overseen by our kernel maintainers for a long time
(since the Owl had to fit on a single CD and kernel had to fit in a
2.88Mb El Torito image). Despite of a golden rule "keep storage and
communication modules compiled in", some of these critical modules
are still kept outside.
For servers which I administer (at least 30, or 1/3 of their total
amount, are HP Proliants) I use my own build of the kernel:

Here's already compiled packages:

And even an installation USB flash image (quite old, but should do
the job of primary installation; requires at least 2Gb flash):

The CCISS differs from the usual disk controllers, so you may like to
partition, format and mount the will-be-root filesystem manually. That
means, before running `settle` you should run `fdisk /dev/cciss/c0d0`,
`mke2fs -j /dev/cciss/c0d0p1` and `mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /owl` (and
other filesystems as well, most likely "/owl/var" and "/owl/home").

Most likely it really is.
