Duncan,

It is ITE 8212 (I'm not sure if it is an "F" though).  The driver for RedHat
and Mandrake are available on giga-byte.com.  When you say I'm out of luck,
what exactly does that mean?

- I have to wait until linux boots before I can see those drives as plain
old IDE drives (which means I can boot off those drives)
- I have to wait until the kernel is loaded (and subsequently the raid
driver) in order to see the raid device (ie. after I've configured a raid
device during the bios raid config util)?
- I'll never be able to see those drives regardless if they are raid or
plain?
- Maybe something completely different

Thanks
Jay
