mdadm is for software raid. You are speaking about hardware raid : Embedded SATA RAID Controller !
If you have an onboard raid controller, you have first to create a "Volume" using the HP utilities (this is in the bios or when booting on a CD) Then when installing Centos you should see the Volume you have created. If not try using the Driver Diskette.

Hi, I have a new server HP proliant DL320 G4, with two 160 GB SATA hdds.. I have installed CentOS 4.5 with mdadm without any problem, but when I disconnect one disk the server does not boot or I received a kernel panic when booting... I have disabled the SATA embeded raid (BIOS) and nothing.. I've also download the driver from HP site HP (Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver Diskette for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86)). and nothing it does not recognize the driver from HP... does anybody knows how to setup a software linux RAID on a proliant DL320 G4?
thanks in advance regards, Israel
