Silicon Image/CMD Medley Software RAID
Greetings Mark!
I put linux-kernel back, in case someone else has ideas.
Quoted 1 line
what controller does it have? the web page, sadly, doesn't give lspci output ;)
I will check it (the card is at home and I am in the office) and let you know.

From memory it was something like:
"Silicon Image PCI0680"
(or something like that)

the correct term is "broken", not "slow".
Well, if it, as you say, works in "ata compatibility mode" and there is no specific driver (in Linux) then it is not broken but (currently, under Linux) just _very_ slow, until someone writes a specific driver for that chipset.
But I am not interested in subtle semantics of "slow" vs "broken". All I want is for my data to arrive at the disk (and come back, sometimes) a bit faster! :)
Kind regards

Did you forget to compile it? :-)
