I am a bug triager, not a developer, so I don't fully understand the situation.
At least one Ubuntu user seems to have been able to use that hardware, in non-raid mode: http://lathiat.livejournal.com/37143.html The company have a support page for Linux: http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=27&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=1 that says: You must use a kernel version of 2.4.18-14 or later to have SATA support for the SiI3x12. More recent kernel support SiI3114, SiI3124, and SiI3132. If your distribution already uses a current kernel , please use the SiIxxxx driver included with the dsitribution. But Dapper already had Kernel version 2.6.15, so I don't really see why it was not supported out of the box. Did you you use the Ubuntu specific FakeRaidHowto at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto ?
