Redhat's recommendation is that you put that controller in AHCI mode from its BIOS and use software RAID. It's a FakeRAID controller anyway so you lose very little by doing so and gain considerably by using a tried and tested RAID solution.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Thank you, TrevorH!

I installed centos 5.9, the drive gave an error

Assetino (sector <= 63) at dos.c: 633 in probe_partition_for_geom function () failed

but installed.

After I upgraded to 5.10, is running!?!
