no way!
the megaraid controller hides completely the symbios onboard chip
so linux does not see it at all.
I know of one case where it is possible to bypass the megaraid
for at lease one channel, it is the embedded netraid(remarketed megaraid)
on hp netservers LH3, you have to change a setting in the bios.
All other cards i tested (netraid 1, netraid3, netraid3si)
don't allow this option.

Luca
