I have a ServerWorks chipset. ServerWorks LE, but it does not have an onboard Promise controller. Its an onboard LSI SCSI, which I'm not using. I have not had this one hooked up for awhile but I am bringing it back online with a PVR150. I don't recall having any trouble with it. I was running svn version on it for awhile as a slave backend but when it recorded to a local raid0 volume, the master backend would come along and try to commflag and transcode it. (The file was not local to the master so it barfed and left lots of stuff in the logs). To answer your question though, I don't recall having any trouble with it. Make sure DMA is on for your drives. Under Windows, this chipset would not enable DMA by default. It had to be forced. I'm also having to force acpi FWIW.
