It may be a device mapper problem. Unless there is an additional menu for
RAID you should see two drives in FC5.

You could try the ATA Raid list ataraid-list at redhat.com. Tell them FC5 may
be
incorrectly detecting your RAID settings. See if you can get more
information
about the SATA chipset before you go over (this is stuff they like to know)
