I Did notive the following options in a 2.4.6-ac2 kernel;

# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_PDC is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_HPT is not set

You may wanna have a play with them to get the kernel speaking to the IDE
RAID controller.

Does this procedure mean that I have just set up software RAID as opposed to using the KT7 built in RAID?
