im not sure about that particular model of adaptec raid but there are
a few of them that for sure do not work(they require software on the
OS side in addition to a driver). i asked that same question not long
ago and the response i got was MYLEX. i got a mylex DAC960-based
raid controller and it works good sofar. and there is builtin
support in the kernel. we had some problems with it and a supermicro
motherboard because the MYLEX didn't support the new bios extensions
but supermicro sent us a workaround bios upgrade to allow us to
boot the machine. mylex said they would fix the prob in the next
bios release.
