We have 4 Compaq ProLiant 2500's at work running these things (integrated on the board, but same chipset), all 2.2.1R. Except for one problem we had with a Micropolis Tomahawk 4gb drive, we haven't seen a huge number of problems. All have 2x4gb Barracudas on them, and two have 20gb RAID units attached. -- j.
