New box with ASUS MB and SATA drives work great.  I also have an IDE 
drive as I wasn't to sure about SATA when I purchased the computer. 
Latest kernel recognized the SATA controller and that it was a RAID 
controller.  I am using md, not the MB RAID.

With this in mind, I boot off of the IDE drive and just use the SATA 
drives in a md RAID for /home.
