What doesn't work? There are drivers, at least in 2.6. Raid should
care about what sort of disks you use.

I've run RAID5 on a Highpoint RocketRAID 1540. I used ATA disks with
SATA converters, though. Works with both 2.4 and 2.6.

Which Adaptec card? The 12xx cards are fakeraid, but are supported as
normal cards. The 24xx cards are true hardware RAID cards. Linux
drivers exist for these, too.

I stay as far away as I can from Promise and VIA. Anything is usually
better than those two.
