I have recently bought a pci raid card specifically for use in my linux partition. The way I have my computer setup now is 5 drives.
One 160G for windows
One 80G for the linux root
One 200G for mounting in linux
Two 160G in a raid for mounting in linux
This links the card I have:

Unfortunately I expected Fedora to detect the raid and be happy. All it has done is slow the startup process as fstab screws up mounting the drives.
I have had to unplug the 200G so this is what
fstab -l prints:
Code:
[root@Eniacjr manuel]# /sbin/fdisk -l

This is what
ls /dev/hd* looks like:

This is my fstab file looks like:
