I've used the same drive and controller on my RedHat box. I compiled the 
driver into the kernel (which was fun, the drivers were split into two 
different groups from one version to the next) and used it as a 
secondary drive. I don't know how it would have worked as the main 
drive, but the card *is* supported despite the promise site not showing 
the current kernel.

It worked ok for a couple days then W2K wouldn’t boot saying, “INACCEPTABLE_BOOT_DEVICE” on a pretty blue screen.  Repeated tries proved pointless.
