modinfo is a treasure trove ;-)

looking at the modinfo output, i see exactly one entry related 
to scsi adapters, and that's the one saying the "glm" driver is loaded.

the solaris glm driver handles the venerable ncr/lsi/symbios 53c8xx 
scsi chips and the newer 53c10xx series; none of these are hardware 
raid devices.

the good news is that this stuff is definitely supported by linux,
the newer chips with the "Fusion MPT" driver and the older with
the "SYM53C8XX" driver.

so, from your info it looks as you're using the OS software raid, and
there's no indication of a hardware raid controller. if that's true,
then all your hardware will be supported out of the box by linux.
