Hi I use a A8N-E, with nvidia raid controler 2 segate SATA disks working at RAID-0 ( sttriping ), I had installed gentoo base system and grub successfully, but at boot time with kernel 2.6.16 it cannot find device on /dev/mapper and with kernel 2.6.15-r1 it has a kernel panic saiyng it can´t find /linuxrc file and /bin/bash file.

I have a 4 disks software raid (1 and 5 + LVM) setup. The motherboard has an integrated Promise controller that "thinks" the two disks attached are a single logical RAID0 disk. If I ever had a windoze on those disks it would run as if it was on a single striped disc, according to controller BIOS. While I was building this computer I also tested the software array phisically removing one of the striped discs, despite the dreadful error messages (the computer refuses to boot without an human intervention) at boot Linux booted flawlessly, just marking the array as corrupted. As I said before, to help OP we need more details about his setup. Side note: I use LILO. MB: Asus A8V-deluxe, no GRUB nor Nvidia here, so YMMV!.
