I could only find one SATA disk in Linux and never see the PATA whether RAID was turned on or off because of the sata_promise driver for kernel 2.6.10. I could not write to the RAID in Linux without errors. The new 2.6.11 kernel is supposed to make the PATA visible under Linux. I haven't tested that yet.
I believe that 2.6.11 doesn't yet include the change needed to support PATA drives on the Promise controller. However, you only need to apply Jeff Garzik's libata patch on top of 2.6.11 for this to work.
