SL4 install on Intel 82801 RAID1

[kukarzev]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install SL4 on Dell Dimension 9200 with Intel 82801 
(ICH8) Raid controller. Not sure how to proceed.

I have configured RAID1 array using the built-in Intel config utility (I 
have two physical drives, 320G each). When I try to run the 4.5 
installer, it sees two separate drives rather than the array. I do not 
want to create the software RAID, and I am not 100% sure what LVM is.

To my understanding, I should see one raid device instead of two 
physical disks. How do I achieve that? Am I missing a driver? Is there 
an installer of SL4.x that can install on such a RAID?

Thanks!

Gena.
