There is a beta driver out now but Promise are not supporting it at all.
I have found an independant kernel patch that apparently works OK, but you
cannot boot off the array. You must use a stand-alone HD for the kernel and
then you can use it to mirror other drives. Apparently - I haven't tried
it, but I have spoken to others that have managed to get it working. I
spent many hours playing around with it trying to get it to boot off the
array but I was unsuccessful. Promise DID say that they thought that the
Promise driver would not support booting from the array either.
SCSI RAID looks more and more interesting - hang the expense!

Brad
