Intel Storage Manager Raid 5 support

Hi ..

new to the list. .. and a bit of a newbie :-(

I have a new machine with an Intel S3000AMLX Motherboard running Intel
Storage Manager.

Irritatingly you cannot set the bios to boot off alternative disks ...
Or I would software raid .. Grrr

Anyway

I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 to get the 4 sata disks to run Raid
5 configuration.

I have selected RAID 5 it in the BIOS, and started up the Ubuntu live
CD and installed dmraid-rc14

When I do an dmraid -l, it says that only raid 0 and 1 are supported
for isw, which I am

presuming is the correct device for this fake-raid setup ??

Reading a few of the threads I thought that rc-14 would handle isw raid
5, with the auto-rebuilding

being released in rc-15 ?

Am I mistaken ? If I install rc-15 can I get raid 5 on the isw ?

At this stage I am not too concerned about the rebuilding, and it
seems that this is

happening real soon now.

TIA

Regards

Peter
