Well, to start a list of "it works" combos:
3ware Storage Controller device driver for Linux v1.02.00.036.
2.4.21 with XFS 1.3
software raid0
[jlb@buckbeak jlb]$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

As you can see, I had to limit to size of sd?4 a bit to stay under the 2TB
limit, but this combo is rock solid, and was with the XFS 1.2 release as
well (I ran the RH based kernel then).
