Once I switched to an Intel board, I've had no problems. That predated my use of CentOS, so CentOS 4 has always supported the card fine for me. I use the 3w-9xxx driver that comes with CentOS. Anaconda picked it up during install and I've been good to go ever since. You should know that I'm only using it for 1) disk mirroring and 2) software RAID. So, your mileage will vary greatly. In this sense I'm using it more as a set of add-on SATA ports moreso than for its built in RAID capabilities. Hope this helps, --Shawn

Just installed one (4-port version) in a newly built server. Runs great. Driver is included in the 2.6 kernel. No problems in my testing so far.
