I believe the RAID controllers in these boards are not true hardware 
RAID. They are called fake RAID or BIOS RAID, which is a form of 
software RAID. Under these circumstances wouldn't it be better if you 
were to use software RAID built into linux? Try `man mdadm' for more 
details.

I believe the only situation these RAID controllers are worth the 
trouble is when you have a dual boot system where the "other OS" doesn't 
recognize Linux software RAID *cough M$ cough* .
