Hi Steve,
I have certainly had this work in the past so I know it is possible.
My first question is (I dont think I saw this in all the output
below!) is the device coming up as hda or sda?
Regarding dmraid/etc vs software. I have always found SW Raid to be
faster/better/stronger/safer than cheap RAID on a chip type MB's. The
drivers issue is also a lot simpler as you just disable the RAID
thingo in the BIOS or tell it to run in JBOD mode.
