I went this route and am quite happy with the results. There's a little bit of overhead to the CPU's but its no big deal for the end result. >> #2) Try using the ataraid driver.

HPT got back to me on a support call I logged with them. They said they do have an opensource HPT driver for the 1200A card, v1.31 available at the bottom of the download page where you download the binary drivers. They said there shouldn't be any issues with compiling this driver into whatever kernel I install. Strange why this opensource driver still isn't added into the Linux kernel.
