It looks to me like Adaptec Hostraid is not supported. This is a surprise; up until now Adaptec hardware has a good track record of Linux support, going back for years.
The raid card issues go back years actually - AHA hostraid stuff like the IDE raid hasn't been Linux supported, smarter stuff has been well supported.
That still leaves the question of a working SCSI hardware raid card. I'm open to suggestions. Some Googling brings up occasional reports of random glitches with software raid; so I'd still prefer a hardware raid solution.
