Sorry for crossposting - I tried to get a fast answer because this issue blocks me really very heavily...
I created the stripe through the BIOS as I did it with my old HPT370 controller which is also supported by the ata driver.
And to access the drives at my HPT370 controller I can use /dev/adX and /dev/ar0

More information:
There's the same problem with the old (first) BIOS version of the TX4310.
The Windows XP installation routine (with the driver floppy disk for the TX4310) does recognize the RAID0 volume.

Thanks for your fast answer!
Lukas
