KV7: can't create RAID: linux recognises always two disks

After I configure a RAID with Mainboard-BIOS and BIOS of RAID the OS I
want to install should recognise only ONE harddisk, right?

I enabled SATA-Raid in BIOS, my Hard Disk Priority is "Bootable Add-in
device" and as bootable add-in Device is selected: "OnChip SATA RAID".
Did I forgot anything?

Now, booting Linux (Suse 9.2), Linux recognizes TWO SCSI-Disks, not ONE.
Where is my fault?

And, of course, I set up a RAID 1 (Security) in RAID BIOS, I set it to
bootable, too. At least I think I did it, because when I choose "delete
array" the BIOS asks if I really want to destroy the arry. (a very
confusing BIOS, there is no message like "RAID configured successfully".
Many <return>'s are not answered, I don't know if the system did
something when choosed e.g. "create array". :-(

solution: the KV7-Raid is a 99% software raid. The Raid works
with special drivers only. Not working with linux (I've no
interest in software raid either).
