Did you check the list archives?

With 6.2:

- Make sure you get revision 2 of the unit
- bce(4) onboard is not recommended, easily reproduced crashes with high
  load a la Broadcom -- get add-on em(4) cards
- DRAC5 works fine, except it runs Linux and requires ActiveX
- PERC4 works with mfi(4), just remember:
  - Install linux32 compat to utilize megacli + mfi(4) patches
  - Disable 'Patrol Reads' in the BIOS
- The jury is still out on PERC5.  Sounds like Dell blowing smoke.
- IPMI works well.
