Known Issues
Intel ICH7 SATA RAID Controller
This controller supports SATA RAID, but the Debian 4.0 (etch) installer doesn't support it. The testing version "lenny" has an experimental support for SATA RAID.
Promise Supertrak Ex8350 SATA Controller
This SATA controller is supported by the Linux kernel >= 2.6.19 with the "stex" module but Debian 4.0 (etch) is shipped with 2.6.18.
LSI Logic 1068 onboard SAS Controller
This controller is supported with Debian 4.0 (etch) only in non-RAID configuration with the "mptsas" module. The RAID needs the not with Debian etch (and not in the official Linux kernel) shipped module "megasr".
