I suggest you to ONLY compile your own 2.6.25 Kernel with all needed
modules included which will give you a perfect Kernel without initrd and
dependence hell... (initrd-tools and such from Etch are not compatibel
with the stuff from Kernel 2.6.25)

Yes. And of course, even if the mainboard would support Hardware
Raid-1/2 I will never trust them... For such things I would use a 3Ware
where I can be sure, I get a compatibel one if something goeas wrong.
Note: I am using a VIA EPIA LN10000EAG with 1 GByte memory and a
4 GByte "SanDisk Extreme IV" and I am very happy with it.
