One of the problems with this class (2.4.* based 64 bit) is the Software IOMMU. You may have to boot with 'swiotlb=12288' in order to free enough mapping resources for the card. RHEL4/CentOS4 does not have this problem.

Hello all, Are there any special considerations when using RedHat Enterprise Linux (or CentOS) 3 /4 on a PowerEdge 1800 with S-ATA RAID. I am moving the system from a PE 1600 with PERC2/Si, probably starting with a fresh install, moving config and date later on.
