And the scam is adding this to mobo features as a "RAID" and an attempt to make this pass as if it was a hardware RAID. GRUB currently considers mdX as a non-available through BIOS unless user overrides it in device.map, we need to add a logic to handle the fakeraid as a BIOS disk. It's possible to add support for intel RAID but it will be useless since the member disks aren't available through BIOS to begin with. > >
