Compaq's SMART Array 6402 - Just ensuring (Prior to purchase) that I
could get it running under Deb.

Resorted to reading Kernel Doc:

2.4.20 kern:

Supported Cards:
----------------

This driver is known to work with the following cards:

        * SA 5300
        * SA 5i
        * SA 532
        * SA 5312

So unfortunately no support, but I had 2.4.24 source, and looks like  it
does:

Supported Cards:
----------------

This driver is known to work with the following cards:

        * SA 5300
        * SA 5i
        * SA 532
        * SA 5312
        * SA 641
        * SA 642
        * SA 6400
        * SA 6400 U320 Expansion Module
        * SA 6i

So looks like I'll have to create a driver from that kern...
