Pretty sure it is not. I have the Soyo KT-400 Dragon Ultra Platinum motherboard and even with APIC disabled (which it has to be to boot Mandrake at all), turning on the RAID controller causes a kernel panic. APIC is a whole other ball of wax, with APIC turned on, I can get Mandrake to boot up but the whole devfs file system is screwed up, the USB ports aren't detected properly, and finally, my standard IDE ports get assigned funky IRQ's and then my filesystem gets trashed. I also had to turn off ACPI, for some reason, loading the ACPI daemons causes havoc with Linux on my system as well. That also means that I have never been able to use the RAID controller as even standard ATA controllers either, just enabling them in the BIOS causes a kernel panic on boot. Looking back at the logs, it is trying to initialize the 366 Highpoint driver at the point that it dies in a panic. If you are using all of the IDE channels on the MB then you are already far ahead of me, I just have never been able to do it. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
