I just deployed 10 R610s which have this controller with
CentOS 5.2, I later upgraded their kernels to the latest from 5.3,
though the rest of the systems are 5.2. Of course the drivers are
part of the kernel not the rest of the space.

I was also able to run R610s under CentOS 4.6 without any issue
as well.
