[plug] Using ASUS onboard SATA RAID with CentOS (for Trixbox/Asterisk)

[Jonathan Young]

In case there was too much detail in that last email, I am basically asking:

If your SATA drives do not detect, whether on a RAID controller or 
regular SATA controller
and assuming you know they do work (i.e. it's not hardware) what does it 
normally take to get
Linux (CentOS if possible) to pick them up as a target for a fresh 
installation.

Cheer,

- Jonathan
