Both are rpm's. According to Jeff Garzik, there are no plans to support the ICH5 as a RAID controller, because Linux has an adequate software RAID implementation already. (The implication seems to be that the ICH5 RAID controller is not a true hardware RAID, but a hardware-assisted software RAID; but I can't confirm or deny this myself.) I have installed Debian on an ICH5-based system using the md-raid1 software RAID driver. At the time, there was a lot of hand-twiddling that had to be done -- the situation may have improved over the past few weeks. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
