All ServeRAID adapters from IBM are real hardware-based RAID cards.
The only exception are some cards then end with "e" in their name. But
all "ServerRAID Xi" cards are real HW RAID. Anyway, see here
"http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0054.html"; for a complete
overview of all IBM ServeRAID cards.
I've run a lot of machines with these type of ServeRAIDs and they all
worked fine.

Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the
"microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.
