At least in some cases Promise has only provided drivers (they aren't in
the kernel) for the one kernel that ships with a Red Hat version.  If you
try to upgrade to an errata kernel you are out of luck.  I would do a lot
of research before thinking about buying a Promise Raid solution.

Personally, I'm just saying the heck with it and using the kernel's
software raid (mirroring in my case).
