I'm golden with a pair of IDE disks on the Iwill SideRAID66 (HPT368
chipset). It booted just fine with all filesystems XFS except
/boot. Ananaconda not create an initrd though.
I'm seeming to have a serious issue with PAM and NIS -- which is a
Wolverine issue. Anyone else here having issues? The second I try
to bind to my NIS server, _all_ authentication goes down (even
local). I have to shutdown ypbind completely (even if it didn't
bind -- which it is not anyway) before any authentication is
possible.
Time to check Bugzilla I guess ...

P.S. I've had nothing but problems with aic7xxx and more recent
kernels anyway -- especially 2940's with older BIOSes. I've given
up on Adaptec controllers and stick with AdvanSys and Symbios
Logic-based chipsets for general cards (and have for a long time),
and Mylex for high-end RAID controllers. On the cheap (for just
peripherials), I favor the $20 TekRam DC-315U (TekRam S1040
chipset).
