I can't speak to all of your problems, but I can advise you on this one (as I 
have a similar setup).  You can fix the boot loading of SCSI devices by changing 
the order of your aliases in /etc/modules.conf.  For example, I have:

alias scsi_hostadapter0 mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih
alias scsi_hostadapter2 qla2300_conf
alias scsi_hostadapter3 qla2300
post-remove qla2300 rmmod qla2300_conf

This ordering causes my local disks to be loaded first (sda,sdb), and the FC 
then start at sdc.
