Are you sure you have all the right modules in your initrd?
I don't have the same motherboard as you do, but am able to boot with / on sata_nv (raid).

My initrd modules:

lib/dm-zero.ko
lib/raid1.ko
lib/dm-mirror.ko
lib/ext3.ko
lib/dm-mod.ko
lib/dc395x.ko
lib/libata.ko
lib/sata_nv.ko
lib/dm-snapshot.ko
lib/scsi_mod.ko
lib/sd_mod.ko
lib/jbd.ko
