Can I suspect that it is this kind of "fake RAID"? Manufacturers call it
RAID but it is no real hardware RAID but BIOS supported software RAID.
(This was discussed here on the list already several times.)

If you are speaking about an "internet server" you mean a reliable
webserver. Then either pay for a real hardware RAID controller - PATA /
SATA by 3ware or SCSI by ICP Vortex (supported by Linux) - or rely on
Linux software RAID. Those onboard RAID controller functions are
marketing gags and technically not worth the trouble.

I think you then can keep your Intel board you have now.
