  I've just seen a RedHat 5.1 system with a such a controller, hang.  It
doesn't seem the Linux DPT driver is very stable.  It seems easy to get
into a situation where all processes accessing the disk, hang.  The
FreeBSD DPT driver seems quite a bit more solid than that, although
setting it up is more difficult.
