Wow.... I haven't even bothered with trying to mix on-board stuff with
Linux ever since I was burnt by it (my own fault) a long time ago on a
BX-133 board.   As a matter of fact, that's when I started figuring out
what Linux software RAID was all about... and haven't looked back since. 
It's nice to know there are supported FRAID systems 'out of the box'...
maybe I need to give this a look again :)
