Nice answer. The question is not "what IDE RAID to use" but "why promise RAID does not work". Promise RAID does not work because Mandrake pdcraid driver is broken (as has been posted already). Of course there are issues with installer, I do not know if installer is able to detect and install on promise RAID (assuming deiver is fixed). -andrej
