I think I can safely say that at least Linux kernel 2.6.31 is a requirement. The card was basically useless with everything up to 2.6.30, then I tried 2.6.31-rc5 on a whim and it kicked in. Built-in driver support, that is. However it wasn't stable, it dropped disks when syncing a large array. I've been meaning to test on 2.6.31 final, and am pretty optimistic. -- Kristleifur -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
