I am not sure if you're going to have any luck with hardware raid, espescially with cards like this. I hope you have researched this well (read the relevant HOWTOs, kernel docs etc) and are sure that your kernel supports it. If you do have success setting up the raid, maybe you would want to write a short bit up on it. Once the raid is set up (be it hardware or software) the filesystem shouldn't know a thing about it. It's probably best not to put your root on the raid (without reading the ROOT-RAID-HOWTO) Buchan P.S. From what I can remember, the Promise ATA->RAID hack is the addition of the right resistor in the right place (which will cost you about 5c).
