I realize I'm an edge case and my scenario is not ideal= (I use an ITE controller and performance is actually impressively slow), b= ut I cannot boot 9.0 from my stripe, even after manually loading ataraid fr= om the loader prompt (after running an unload command).

I haven't looked too much into it (these devi= ces are actually PATA not SATA, so AHCI doesn't even exist for these), but = maybe there's an ATA/AHCI driver that's built into the default kernelthat i= s interfering with ataraid.ko?
