I suspect that the RAID must be configured via some menu in the bios/cmos
setup area.

I've got a few X2100's running CentOS over here. They use a standard nforce4
chipset which has a driver-based software RAID option (which is recognized
by the BIOS so it can boot from the disk array). There's no real RAID
controller in there. I suppose Fedora 6 will use dm-raid to make the Linux
software RAID driver use the BIOS-created volume.
