Hi

I was under the impression that this only applies to the ataraid-drivers
(Those drivers for promise and hpt raid-controllers that don't really
provide hardware raid, but do provide a BIOS that is capable of booting from
raid1 and raid0 arrays) - well, I guess I'll have to figure out some way to
test the software raid.
