Hi Klaus, 

the ZCR PCI extension for Raid-5 (Adaptec 2010S) coming with TX150 worked out 
of the box with SLX 1.0 venus! The used module is  dpt_i2o. What we got stuck 
with for today was upsizing the LVM partitions (esp. home0 takes neary 1 hour 
on big disks). Be prepered for a minor bug report for some log saving install 
script coming with the current CVS snapshot :)

Ralf
