Some SX6000 setups work some don't. Promise also have their own driver
for the card you can download (its all source format). The older
supertrak100 also works but both of them seem rather slower than the
3ware cards

I've had less than terribly good luck with the i2o pci driver on these 
things. the promise pti_st  driver does working fairly well. tweaking the 
bios and playing with firmware versions was pretty hit-or-miss with the 
sx6000. for consistencys sake we just went with the promise module accross 
all our sx6000 using machines.

supported by RHL 7.3 with kernel 2.4.18 ???
Does anyone has the driver for it?????



Any advise will be appreciated.
