none of those onboard raid stuff works ...

true test is...
	- install your root-raid setup....
	- reboot make sure it normally all works .. than test "raid0/1"

	- power down and disconnect hda
	- power up and if hw raid isn't working, its dead...
	- do the same with the other disk

	if its "truely" hardware raid0/1... disconnecting a drive
	should still boot the system in degraded raid mode
