We've had similar issues and worked around it in another way.  We
commented out all "qla" entries in the pcitable on our boot disk
images.  :)  This way the kernel cannot match the PCI IDs on the Qlogic
adapters to a kernel module and the kernel module will not load.

The other way around it is to use the drive ordering to specify cciss
first.  I've not tested this, however:

bootloader --driveorder=cciss,sda
