Is the Adaptec hardware raid controller (I'm thinking of getting a 2410SA) supported in the 2.6 kernel?
If you're talking about the *current* 2.6 kernel, yes:
0000:02:09.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 01)
Subsystem: Adaptec AAR-2410SA PCI SATA 4ch (Jaguar II)
Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 9
Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=ec640000]
Expansion ROM at 00008000 [disabled]
Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2
I have it running under 2.6.14
