It's not a good idea to use raid service provide by hpt370.
/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/Configure.help :

Support for IDE Raid controllers
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID

[...]                                                                                                                                                                                                     
  Note, that Linux does not use the Raid implementation in BIOS, and
  the main purpose for this feature is to retain compatibility and
  data integrity with other OS-es, using the same disk array. Linux
  has its own Raid drivers, which you should use if you need better
  performance.
