Hi,
I have been going through similar problems with a different ASRock MB.
Other posters have said the ASRock BIOS is special. Based on my
experience this must be true. I have been unable to get this MB to
support RAID. I have finally given up.
What I did find was that I could get the drives to appear as independent
drives. I installed them as 2 drives. I plan on using rsync to keep them
identical.
The only way I could do this was to use the "nodmraid" kernel option
when I booted to do the installation.
I tried contacting ASRock and found their support was useless. They only
recommended using the chip manufacturer's driver (something I had
already tried). I replied that it didn't work and they stopped
communicating. I will not use any more ASRock products!
