I found the same a couple of weeks ago about the Silicon Image "RAID" SATA controller :( FWIW, a couple of links that list BIOS emulated RAID v/s hardware RAID SATA controllers. http://linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html Linux Driver for "fake (bios) raid" controller cards: http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dmraid/rpm/ No experience with above, IMO useful only if you use the RAID volume to define partitions for multi OS (MS Windows) system.
