Bug Description
Binary package hint: dmraid
On my motherboard (ASUS A8V-deluxe) the SATA RAID Controller [VIA VT6420 (rev 80)] is not properly recognised by dmraid.
This utility discovers both an nvidia (which doesn't exist) and via controller and defaults to the nvidia one -> ergo no fakeRAID.
To properly use the via controller, dmraid must be used with the -f or --format option, like:
dmraid -ay -f via
Since dmraid is used in initrd.img, to make this workaround work at boot the following two files need to be changed:
/etc/init.d/dmraid (adding --format via to the standard and verbose dmraid calls)
/usr/share/
After which a new initrd.img must be generated with:
sudo update-initramfs -u
It is then possible to automount the raid set adding an entry to /etc/fstab (for example mine is: /dev/mapper/
Thank you.

What makes you think it recognizes both formats? Please post the output of dmraid -n -v /dev/sda
