Abit's Gentus is, I believe, simply a RedHat distro with a kernel with
the HPT-patches.

Yes, it is a well known RAID IDE card. The HPT370 chip is also
used on various Abit motherboards. The ABit card was recently tested
in the german c't magazine, and came out #1.

I believe you will need a kernel-patch to make it work with 2.2.x;
I have an Abit BP6 with the HPT366 chip, and that required a
kernel-patch (from www.highpointtech.com)
Kernel 2.4.x has built-in HPTxxx-support, AFAIK.
