I am sorry. I can't test the card in the RAID mode anymore, because it
is in use meanwhile with NORMAL mode an a software raid. Maybe the
output of dmesg in NORMAL mode is usefull for you.


Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
IT8212: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:09.0
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 0000:00:09.0
PCI: Sharing IRQ 10 with 0000:00:01.2

(Changing the slots IRQ by bios alters both devices 0000:00:01.2 and 
0000:00:09.0, so they seem to belong both to the card/disks)
