I just installed Windows 8 RTM and tried installing RST drivers for my RAID array. The latest drivers do not support ICH9R however. Is this intentional?
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_0106 is not supported in the .inf however PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2929&CC_0106 is
The drivers on the website that do support this chipset are very outdated too. Luckily I found some old drivers on my PC (iata_enu_10.8.0.1003)
I had previously been running Windows 8 Release Preview and don't remember running into any issues installing these drivers. Maybe my memory is poor though, as iata_enu_10.8.0.1003.exe was in the folder I named 'win8' with a bunch of other drivers.
The Intel Rapid Storage website gives the impression this chip should be supported.

It would be nice to have the latest drivers for this if possible or some update on whether this is intentional.
