to further add..google fraid. That's what mobo based raid is. if you want to use software raid turn off bios raid and use the built in raid in the linux kernel and then your mobo(asus nforce board) will work jsut fine.
I've done that with no joy - perhaps the Asus A8N-VM board is the problem? I can get the sata disks detected but writing to them fails during the install.

I've been burned by Sata not working on an Asus motherboard (nVidia / nForce) and need to select something that will work for a fairly light duty web/mail/sql server. How do I go about finding out if a specific motherboard will work with sata software raid and Centos 4.4 (or 5.x when it's settled down).
Instead of buying a motherboard, you can add a SATA controller card. I have a Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI card ($55) and set up software RAID1 on CentOS 4.
