This is a software raid solution. It's the BIOS on the card that provides
RAID features. Kernel 2.4.18 does not have support for the cmd/sil 680;
2.4.20 does (it's in the cmd64x driver). 2.5.69 has a separate driver
(sil680). I don't know yet whether it's the card or the Linux driver, but
I get corrupted data in PIO mode and a hang on the first access after
setting DMA mode when using this card. I haven't yet tried 2.5.69 with
this card.
