That is exactly caused by the fact that those controller (chips) are
fake RAID. The are indeed software raid with driver support - if really
there is a driver available for Linux.

Forget the driver based RAID with such controllers. Either get a real
hardware RAID controller like those by 3ware or use Linux software RAID
with Fedora which is offered during installation (though you can set up
software RAID even after installation for new hard drives).
More details to be found in this list's archive and by using google.
