Intel S5000PAL with RAID problems

Hello,

I have seeked help from the newsgroup but since this is a real hardware 
problem, I hope that you can assist...

We have purchased an Intel server (board + chassis)
SR1500ALSAS  (the board is S5000PAL)
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000pal/sb/CS-022639.htm

The Intel RAID controller was configured from the vendor for 2 SATA HD 
in RAID1. But FreeBSD 6.2 do not see the logical drive but both HD...

Intel support RedHat and Suse... I am NOT looking for a complete 
solution with OS/RAID communication but a basic RAID mirror on both 
disks. I can manage lack of disk status.

Hoping for a driver support in 6.3 seems like a nightmare. Is there a 
way? What do you suggest? It seems I have a useless server or that I 
will have to settle for a software mirror...

Thank you for your help!
