Maybe this is something you can report to Asus tech support.
Problems get fixed faster when they are reported, at least
in theory.

(t s d at asus.com is one email address.).

There is a web page here, but one user reports the server
software sucks, and as always with these web interfaces,
you cannot really be sure the message got there:

http://vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx?ptype=A8N-E&pmodel=A8N-E&SLanguage=en-us

There is a user forum, but does anyone at Asus read it?
So far, scrolling through the posts, I don't see mention of your
RAID problem.

http://vip.asus.com/forum/bbs.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=A8N-E

The best contact is by phone, as in that case, at least you
know someone at Asus hears your report. If the other methods
fail, you'll have plenty of ammo to chew them out with :-)

A BIOS update is probably your only hope.
