Use linux software raid instead. The only way to use fakeraids under
linux is with dmraid, which debian doesn't support in 3.1.
The performance will also be better with software raid.
I know thre sil3112 is supported at least in the 2.6 kernel, so if you
boot with linux26 at the boot prompt it should detect the controller,
but it has to be in normal mode, not raid mode.
