The controller BIOS creates the array fine but it doesn't work in I've no idea if the BIOS firmware mode can do MWDMA to the drives.

The firmware mode is pretty minimally documented. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
