Forget this proprietary software raid drivers. Just use the kernel software raid capabilities. There has yet to appear a company that manufactures bios on a chip raid cards that provide adequate or even minimal linux driver support.

If you don't like hardware raid then there is nothing else for you.

Promise has never given me any joy under Linux.
Nor has any other bios on a chip raid card manufacturer.
Yes, Promise is supposed to have a few actual hardware raid cards...
