The default install doesn't do a software raid, and if you are trying to use
an Nvidia onboard raid controller as a raid device in linux, you are probably
out of luck.
To do software raid with LVM over it, you have to do it all manually. First
creating the raid devices, and then adding the resulting md devices as LVM
partitions.
