I've tried 3 TB disks on a 32-bit CentOS 5 box, plugged into generic 
Intel PIIX on-board SATA ports.  It seemed to work fine.

I only did it to see if it would work, so I currently have no systems 
deployed like that.  Everything using 3 TB disks in production right now 
does so via a 3ware RAID controller.  The big gotcha there is that only 
their newest controllers (9700 series) support 3 TB disks.
