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.

                        Have fun,

                                        David
