I have created the raid array using the intel BIOS... (RAID1) The strange things was, that there was no progress bar or some time lag which showed that the raid array is getting build...

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/sde doesn't contain a valid partition table

Isn't it somewhat strange, that the kernel sees both harddisk and not the raid array, represented as e.g. sde? (sda to sdd are cardreaders)
so any hints on this?

| consider using Linux Software RAID instead as it's more cross-compatible with other hardware and Linux Distros. If you want to use BIOS Software RAID A.K.A Fake RAID you need to boot the livecd with dodmraid option or whatever it's called. |
