Sure about that? This is your first experience with CentOS/RHEL?

I can't tell you either. I think the support for this is coming from
dmraid. A search for this should reveal more for you. Such drivers are
usually not compiled in the kernel at all, maybe in the 2.4 days, there
are various methods to use them as a kernel module. In general, people
recommend using normal software RAID if you have only a fakeraid
controller. And, a second "in general", if you want to find something out
about CentOS, looking at kernel.org or for "recent kernels" won't help too
much.
I suggest you first read a bit about CentOS on www.centos.org before you
make your OS choice. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to discourage you,
but you should *know* what you get, you shouldn't assume.
