I have used the S2895, which has the exact same nForce Pro 2200 IC (as well as 2050 on CPU#2, which the S2891/92s do not have). The GPL nv_sata driver is in the _stock_ 2.6 kernel. And I'm fairly certain it has been backported in the RHEL/CentOS 3 2.4 kernels too. No Native Command Queuing (NCQ) or Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) management, but those are largely overrated. If I want command queuing, I'm going to do it across multiple disks with an intelligent ATA RAID controller (like 3Ware). -- Bryan J.
