I have an Asus A7V too. This is not an on-board raid controller; basically
the mobo has two IDE controller, the built-in BIOS ATA66 controller (hda-hdd)
and the Promise ATA100 controller which is optionally loaded just prior to
handing over control to the boot loader; drives attached to the Promise
controller appear as hde-hdg.
Having had glitches even in Windows 2000, I now run all my drives from the
ATA66 controller. Linux worked fine using the Promise controller when I tried
it one year ago though.
