Here's the output of lspci:

0003:01:03.0 Memory controller: Adaptec (formerly DPT) Domino RAID Engine 
(rev 02)
         Subsystem: Adaptec (formerly DPT) Domino RAID Engine
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 0082efe0
         BIST result: 00
         Memory at 000001c980100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
         Memory at 000001c988000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]

0003:01:04.0 I2O: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartRAID V Controller (rev 03)
         Subsystem: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartRAID V Controller
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 1, IRQ 0082ef80
         BIST result: 00
         Memory at 000001c990000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]
         I/O ports at 0000000002010400 [size=256]
         Expansion ROM at 0000000080000000 [disabled] [size=32K]

As it looks it's equal to the "Intel" based cards...

Don't think it will work then, right?
