Yup - that was me.  The basic Rocket (not RocketRAID) 1540 card gave me /very/
serious problems with Linux.  Really - don't play with it.  I managed to get
mine RMA'd, but... blech.

The Promise TX4 SATA150, on the other hand, has been nothing but a pleasure to
work with.  It's been recommended by many on this list in the past, and I will
now recommend it to you.  Yes, it's more expensive, but you get what you pay
for.

Cheers,
