problem with installing Debian on a ide raid controler : PART 3

Hello, I think Abit's Hot Rod 100 Pro is not a software raid controler (uses HighPoint Chip HPT370 - on their webpage the chip does the raid thing - maybe I'm wrong). I pached my kernel for this chip and rebootet. On the boot prompt I found : HTP370 ... ide 2 ... ide 3 ... A hdd which was connec
