The standard answer for "fake raid" cards from "Linux SATA RAID FAQ"
 http://linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html

        3. I have a Silicon Image SATA RAID card. Why doesn't Linux
        support my hardware RAID?
        
        A. It's not hardware RAID. It is software RAID, provided by the
        BIOS on the card.
