Does that motherboard have the HPT372 RAID chip? According to HighPoint's
site, if you want to use this with Linux the controllers BIOS must be
upgraded to v2.1; that revision is included in the Linux driver downloads.
Also, I think you should leave it at /dev/ataraid/d0 (not d0p1), but I'm not
sure. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you just point that to
the disk, not the partition?
