Hey Chris,
I'm running one of these under Redhat 6.2 with the Redhat kernel source,
works fine. I haven't put the machine to production use yet, so I can't
say how stable it is. It's lived past Bonnie++ for a week, so I don't
think there are any high load problems in the driver.
Here's some output from Bonnie++:
