+CMD/Silicon Image Medley Software RAID
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ATARAID_MEDLEY
+  Say Y or M if you have a Silicon Image 3112 SATA RAID controller,
+  a CMD680 based controller, or another IDE RAID controller that uses
+  CMD's Medley software RAID, and want Linux to use the software RAID
+  feature of this card.  This driver uses /dev/ataraid/dXpY (X and Y
+  numbers) as device names.
+
+  This driver currently only supports RAID0 (striped) mode, so if you
+  are using RAID1 (mirroring) this will not work for you. In that
+  case, you may want to try the Silicon Image Medley Software RAID
+  driver (below).

+
+  This driver does not reliably detect all Medley RAID sets, and could
