Oh, yeah. I haven't touched the bios raid. I use the linux md raid instead. There isn't a single (consumer-level) motherboard that actually has hardware raid on it, no matter what the advertisements might say, so don't worry about choosing a motherboard based on that. Just use linux's raid and you'l...

I've used all the features with no problems, other than firewire for which I don't have any devices to test with (the driver does detect it though.) I'm using Ubuntu Breezy.

if (vid == 0x06) vid = 0x12; if (vid == 0x12) vid = 0x1a; From the dmesg output you pasted, I don't think this is the problem, but your code here has a bug.

Note that I haven't actually tried ordering from them yet, though. I ...
