I had to dump this card back when I installed FC1 a couple of months ago, 
despite its claims of Linux compatibility.  Although it would appear to 
initialize fine at first, any kind of disk activity resulted in random 
claims of random disk errors, on a randomly-chosen disk from a RAID-1 pair, 
resulting in a single disk operation from that point on.

The alleged errors were utterly bogus.  The disks are fine (and are still 
fine today).  An e-mailed inquiry to LSI's tech support resulted in a bunch 
of goober replies, which didn't exactly instill a lot of confidence in me. 
That was the end of the story.

Too bad.  It looked like a nice card.
