Hi! So this means also, that if I create array, kernel will still see drives as it VIA sees, so each drive instead of array? MIlan Vojtech Pavlik wrote:

How about this one: Promise FastTrak S150 TX2plus
Is this also some SORT OF RAID, or does this controller provide HW raid for SATA?
This is the very same kind of fakeraid. The only real ones are 3Ware, Promise SX4000, SX6000, and a few others. Note that they're often slower than the fake ones.

Hi!
I somehow managed to install on Serial ATA on MSI K8T motherboard with VIA 8237.
But I have some questions. At the install time, kernel sees two drives, even If I created from RAID menu RAID array for RAID 1 for mirroring.
So I have installed on /dev/sda.
Now I am wondering why there are two drives, that kernel shows. Shouldn't be only array seen?
If I install it on /dev/sda means this also, that since it is array, /dev/sdb is mirror from /dev/sda?
Or I am missing sometning?
The vt8237 by itself has no RAID capability. Thus Linux will always see the separate drivers. All the RAID magic is just in the BIOS and Windows drivers. Use the LVM or MD/RAID capabilities in Linux to get a RAID array (and one with a better performance usually, too).
