To be 100% perfectly clear, yes you are wrong.
In the case of all the SATA chipsets which provide BIOS RAID (which is
like, all of them) the regular libata drivers will not see the array
created in the bios, they will simply ignore it.
If you really must use it, you can use dm-raid to get chipset specific
support. But you should only do that if you need to share a RAID array
with Windows. Otherwise, use the in-kernel software MD driver.

Are you loading the right driver off a floppy?
