Raid Controller not working under arch

Hiho,

I got a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard with onboard Raid-Controller.

I tried Ubuntu 9.10 and the controller is recognised as pdc_jgeadihae. Under archlinux the controller is not regonised:

[stony@silverdragon stony]$ dmraid -l
asr     : Adaptec HostRAID ASR (0,1,10)
ddf1    : SNIA DDF1 (0,1,4,5,linear)
hpt37x  : Highpoint HPT37X (S,0,1,10,01)
hpt45x  : Highpoint HPT45X (S,0,1,10)
isw     : Intel Software RAID (0,1,01)
jmicron : JMicron ATARAID (S,0,1)
lsi     : LSI Logic MegaRAID (0,1,10)
nvidia  : NVidia RAID (S,0,1,10,5)
pdc     : Promise FastTrack (S,0,1,10)
sil     : Silicon Image(tm) Medley(tm) (0,1,10)
via     : VIA Software RAID (S,0,1,10)
dos     : DOS partitions on SW RAIDs
[stony@silverdragon stony]$ ls /dev/mapper/
control
[stony@silverdragon stony]$

lspci tells me:
00:11.0 RAID bus controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [Non-RAID5 mode]

kernel is:
2.6.31-ARCH standard kernel

Does anyone know how i can get the Raid-Controller used - I dont want to setup a software raid, when i got a hardware-controller available

Thanks in advance.

Re: Raid Controller not working under arch

Perhaps you should consider the raid devices in your mobo as fake-raid devices and run the fake-raid setup in wiki.

Hardware raid is usually an add-on card and is very expensive.

I know of no mobo with hardware raid provided inherently.
