Ok, the answer is that it has not been fixed. 6.1 sysinstall does in fact see both 2820sa controllers, and when I put in a single 160GB sata drive, it does see that single drive and I can install onto it, etc. Sysinstall does _not_ see my 2.7TB raid6 array. I suspect that if it were smaller than 2TB, it would see it correctly. I have a number of options with which to deal with this, all of which involve either wasting money or wasting disk space.
