hi ya axcheng
there is not many hardware cards that is compatible with any linux version
http://www.linux-ide.org/chipsets.html
- only one "real hardware raid" ... and that list probably needs
to be updated too with megaraid as being acceptable hw raid ??
- those that are supported chips sets will provide software raid...
- lots of motherboard companies tries to do "raid" in their firmware
( i call it firmware raid .... avoid them if you like your data intact
-- true test of a properly configured raid system ...
- pull each and all of the disks out ( one at a time )
and boot everything should work fine like nothing is wrong
- dont forget to let it resync between each boot ups
- you should fix the raid subsystem asap from degraded mode
before you have a second disk failure which will render the
entire raid subsystem into a bunch of random useless bits
