That was never in question, and I'm sorry if my answers gave the 
impression that I said that.

My point was that if you are using the hardware raid features of the 
Promise card, then you don't need the software raid features of the kernel.

If you are using the software raid features of the kernel, then you are 
using the Promise card as a standard EIDE controller, and not a raid 
controller. You may or may not see a performance hit by doing it this way.
