You would have to build your own kernel from source. I have heard of using software raid but I don't know how to do that. Best thing is to just read the howtos and get more familiar with linux. Just disable the raid in the bios for now and use the promise controller as a regular controller. Best thing is to just use it, and you will figure it out soon enough. Good Luck
