Promise themselves say that TX2-plus is supported in Redhat 7.3/8.0 and SuSE 7.3/8.0 in their data sheet: http://www.promise.com/marketing/datasheet/file/SATA150_DS_101703.pdf I read that to be that support is included in the standard kernel, and has been for a long time, so it is a very stable driver, and standard. But of cause I may be mistaken. But you say that the standard 2.4 and 2.6 driver is not implementing PA= TA. I am courious about the status of this. Are we talking the same controller?
