All six SATA ports will have Seagate 160GB Barracuda drives attached, and I plan on using software RAID-5 and LVM2 on top of the array. I will be building the system using 2.6.0-test9, so will be using libata to drive the disks. If there's anything I can help with debugging/testing the ICH and/or Promise SATA drivers let me know... I see that recently Jeff posted a small patch for some SATA reset issues against -test9, so I'll certainly start out with that included.
