I've read through all the posts on this problem, and have made some progress. I downloaded 2005.0 experimental livecd, and have been able to see my SATA drives while running under BIOS raid1 control. Here's what I did to gain access to the drives:

1. Boot livecd.
2. rmmod ata_piix
3. rmmod libata
4. modprobe ahci

Both of my SATA drives show up seperately. I can fdisk them, and mkreiserfs on them. My question is, if they are supposed to be raid1, why am I seeing them as two seperate drives?? Do I have to configure an md device before installing Gentoo??

I would think I'd just see them as a single drive /dev/sda...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
