well my issue was either fedora or grub not being able work well with
"fakeraid". anything i tried nothing helped. i reinstalled grub to the
right fakeraid device and it did not help. so what i did was deleted
the "fakeraid" from intel bios and just did a software raid (mdadm).
this works better than dmraid and grub or fedora seems to properly use
the /dev/md* device. "fakeraid" sucks, too bad i did not catch this
when i bought my pc (powerspec e361).
