Deja vu, I just installed an HP DL where I thought I had problems with the
external RAID controller, but it hadn't. In bypassing I also had to read
some
information about those "HP Embedded SATA RAID controllers". AFAIK,
these are
not hardware controllers, but "fakeRAID" and therefore everyone
usually
recommends *not* using their RAID functions but using the Linux software RAID 
directly with the SATA drives.
