SATA controller not working in Breezy?

[Phillip Susi]

I have an Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard with probably the same VIA SATA 
Raid.  The linux sata_via module should recognize the controller, but it 
will see the individual drives, not the combined raid.  To get linux to 
recognize the raid, try following my howto:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FakeRaidHowto

Out of the box, it should just see /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, and if you 
don't have a raid volume configured already and don't care to, then you 
can just use them as two seperate drives.
