Fortunately even after changing the mainboard internal controllers are still internal. Should be ok unless you add a third disk controller to the mix (I would make an experiment with USB thumbdrive just in case) LVM could help in mapping, too (but I think you want to setup storage from scratch, without existing LVM) Regards Michal PS:If you get it ready in FAI I would really like to see the configs, as I'm replying on the basis of 'generic' thinking, which may not fully map (pun intended) to FAI.
