Yes, I have a RAID 0 running on a Promise PDC20270 and two drives
under RedHat 7.2.  But I'm not using it as my root drive.  I'm booting
off a separate, single IDE drive.

If you're compiling your own kernel, 2.4.20 had fatal bugs in the
Promise driver.  2.4.21 works well.  If you're using RedHat's kernels,
they've generally worked, but prior to 2.4.19-xxx, they haven't
supported individual IDE drives over 138 Gb.

I think I read yesterday that the Promise driver is one of the
things not yet working in the 2.6 series.
