First of all very good work Oktisme, I did a baremetal installation on asrock c2550d4i, had to put all controllers back to ahci mode to detect all the drives but I was able to find them all (all 10 i patched the buggy sata controller with stability issues so 2 ports are disabled now). Used image from page 23 (Dynax) with that particular pat file! Dont upgrade you won't be able to create volumes or raid groups (couple of people hit that issue i think its due to the fact they upgraded or used a wrong pat file use 7393.pat). Only thing I hit but currently working on it, disk number 7 is shown with the free space of the usb boot disk (correct model 3tb only it shows 3.9gb same amount of free space on the boot stick). So something is going wrong there. Also I discovered but specificly with i think c2550d4i that all disks from front till end need to be used. Lets say i skip slot 7 it wont show disk 8,9,10 (nor visible in /dev/sd# not even popping up in messages file so may be hardware related they are however detected by disk controllers). ext4 works, btrfs crashes on creation of volume but i dont mind. Need to do some work on the usb and (e)sata mapping files that will prob fix the fact disk 7 is only 3.9gb instead of 3tb. But lots of it on this forum to find out about that, more related to the model then the firmware)
