[CentOS] Serverworks HT1000 chipset drivers (Supermicro H8SSL motherboard)

I had a similar problem with a highpoint IDE 133 Raid card... CentOS found the card fine and let me setup everything but would hang right near the end.  It did the same thing in 2 machines because I thought maybe the problem was the MB.  I even tried different HDs but nope, it was the HP Raid card.  Swapped in a Maxtor (Promise) and all was fine.  I know these aren't "real" raid cards like the 3ware but they work on home file servers real well.

I'll have to give that a try.  I popped in both a SI3112 card and a 
3Ware 8006LP card and both worked without incident so there's something 
odd about the HT1000 driver, I suspect.  It's really wierd that it would 
crash at exactly the same point on multiple machines. 

Cheers,
