Lots of fun stuff happening with Linux raid -- cf. http://linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html Both Fasttrack and Via are now supported -- cf. the Linux software raid dmraid driverI have the onboard Promise and VIA chips with raid features. I also use those now as individual disks with the raid turned off. Unless I missed something, I think there is no raid support for these chips under Linux.

Some of the Promise cards also have libata support, not yet in the kernel, but likely to be merged by 2.6.12 and already included
in some vendor kernels (gentoo and ubuntu). Dave
