I have the onboard Promise and VIA chips with raid features. I also use those now as individual disks with the raid turned off. Unless I missed something, I think there is no raid support for these chips under Linux.
Both Fasttrack and Via are now supported -- cf. the Linux software raid dmraid driver
at http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dmraid, which lists these:
Highpoint HPT37X Highpoint HPT45X Intel Software RAID LSI Logic MegaRAID NVidia NForce Promise FastTrack Silicon Image Medley VIA Software RAID
Jeff Garzik has just added PATA support to the libata driver -- looks like IDE will
become obsolete altogether. Some of the Promise cards also have libata support,
not yet in the kernel, but likely to be merged by 2.6.12 and already included
in some vendor kernels (gentoo and ubuntu).
