There is a thread about modprobe to use the BIOS-extension RAID 
controllers as read devices under linux, and quite a bit more.  If it is 
the typical WinRAID controller and the drives are set up in RAID under 
that controller, additional modules must be loaded to read it.  For RAID 
under linux, it is of course totally unnecessary and far less efficient 
than linux software RAID.

If it is a hardware RAID controller, not the fake hardware IDE-RAID 
controllers being peddled for $30 to $60 extra price for a PROM that 
provides a BIOS extension. then I would be very interested in learning more.
