Hi, thanks for the hints. I don't see much sense in disabling RAID if that is what I actually want to use. I'm not too concerned about this as I have two more PCs where one will serve as Linux box quite fine (850 Athlon with 512 MB, 30 GB HDD). I tried the Highpoint drivers with not much success. *Sigh* Once again, Linux comes last on the list of hardware manufacturers.
