Hey all:

Thanks for the help on this. Although Adam's presentation didn't 
directly help, I still spent a good 30 minutes looking over the slides 
and thoroughly enjoyed them.

It turns out that the Promise Fasttrack doesn't work with the 2.6 
kernel. It looks like the ataraid no longer exists in the 2.6 kernel in 
SuSe for the time being. Hopefully, it will be brought back. It looks 
like Fedora supports it, though so I might go with that option. For now, 
I'll stick with SuSe 9.0 (and the support in 2.4x) on one of my boxes.

Thanks all.
