> Could someone suggest an IDE controller card that I could boot off of?  I just want to do RAID 1 with 2 disks but don't want to buy one and then find out it doesn't work. I'm running the latest 4-STABLE.

Hi,

I use Promise FastTrak TX2 with great success for RAID 1 with two disks. 
Worked right away with the GENERIC kernel. A cheap card that does 
exactly what I want. I can probe the array status with atacontrol which 
is pretty much enough for me.
