[Gllug] Linux Install and RAID (ABit KT7-RAID)

[mallum]

hmm, Im no expert on RAID but surely if it was software why would set the
raid up the RAID from outside the OS ( on a kt7 boot ) ? And why would :-

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_HPT 

exist in the kernel config - the HPT370 is an IDE RAID controller after all ?

Maybe its some of hybrid thing.
