Fedora Core 6 does. I just had to drop the firmware into /lib/firmware
to get it loaded correctly. Unfortunately the drivers in the Fedora
kernels do not have the SATA support merged into them. I looked at the
aic94xx-sas-2.6.git tree, but it looks like things have been swapped
around between scsi and libata since 2.6.19.1 (the latest fc6 update
kernel). If anyone has versions of the SATA support patches that apply
on top of a Fedora kernel, could you please direct me to them?
