As mentioned before, don't use the promise softraid, you're much better
of using the linux kernel raid implementation. Yes I know you need to
configure "something" in the bios to make it continue booting ;-) I
suggest making all your harddisks a stripe.

Strange nobody answers your TX4000 mails. I could only explain that by
the topic having been discussed over and over, but that doesn't seem to
be the case (at least not in the last month).
