Last week we tried to install Centos on a brand new HP ML150 G2 with AIC-8130/ Marvell SATA Raid card and it was a no go. We tried a few other flavors of Linux as a test and all had trouble as well. Unfortunately time didn’t permit so we opted for a Windows solution to get the box into production.

We have never had a problem with IDE and Embedded SATA (Non Raid)

Next time we want to research the SATA compatibility a head of time.

Any suggestions?

What cards have worked for you?

Thanks.
