Pretty sure it'll work long as you can boot it. During the RedHat install
you're offered to add devices (it didn't find the 1850's SCSI controller or
the 3200 but I told it to add a SCSI device which was in fact listed as
Compaq Smart2 array controller which worked a treat. I didn't bother adding
the built in SCSI controller at the time as I wasn't sure of the exact type
and had no devices hanging off it anyway. Booting off the RAID can be
treated as a separate issue and FYI I found a paragraph on the RH website
saying it was unsupported.
After the install on the first 'real' boot the hardware detect thingy
immediately found the SCSI controller as an NCR 53c876 and loaded modules
appropriately.
Long term fix for booting may just be to hang a SCSI disk off the builtin
controllers and point LILO over there.. miffed about the fault tolerance in
this, however..
Toby.
P.S. Does this mean anything to anyone? (this from dmesg on the 1850R)

One the same note, has anyone installed Linux on Compaq
Proliant 5500 with
Smart2 raid controller? Just about to buy one and wondering
if it is
supported.
