dmraid and Intel se7230NH1-e Server Entry Board

Hi,

it seems that with the board above SATA Raid 1 with dmraid is not possible.
It uses the ICH7R (82801GR/GH) Chip to do SATA Software Raid. But the 
Board has instead of the Intel embedded RAID
Configuration tool (during bootup), one from LSI Logic. It supports 
RAID1 and 0 only.

Inside the raid system I created with WindowsXP one primary NTFS and one 
FAT32 partition, they are recognized by the kernel,
I can mount them, and can see the directory structure. After 
manipulation only the data from the first drive is shown.

I can access the Drives seperatly with the ahci driver. Here are poarts  
of the dmesg output:

dmraid --version:

dmraid version:        1.0.0.rc11-pre1 (2006.04.11)
dmraid library version:    1.0.0.rc11-pre1 (2006.04.11)
device-mapper version:    4.4.0

Is there a chance for support for this system ?
