Fedora and mobo's with Promise FastTrak100 Lite

[Scott Dahl]

Thanks for the info.

Is it possible just to disable the "raid" functionality of the 
fasttrak100 at the BIOS level?
Maybe just let the two disk drives be seen as two plain old ide disks 
when the
installation program versus being in this pseudo raid 0 configuration?
