Xen users - Jun 2006 - Recommended SAS or SAS RAID controllers for Xen on IBM xSeries 306m with PCI-X slot

Does anyone recommend any particular SAS controller, or should I use an
Ultra-320 SCSI controller instead?

My machine is an IBM xSeries 306m. It has a SAS controller provided on a
daughter card, but it''s not supported in the 2.6.16 kernel, so
I''m
looking for a separate disk controller card that will work with my
existing SAS disks.

Ive used 3ware 9500 series HW raid controlers in the past and they
work perfectly, the driver is in the kernel and there is a cli
utiliity from 3ware as well.
