All I get is:
20376 is not currently supported. Promise do have their own GPL driver which handles this device as if it were a scsi adapter. In the same way that Jeff Garzik has realised we need to go this path for smart SATA stuff so have promise.
Figuring out what to do about all this for 2.4 is on my pending pile still - do we merge a minimal support into base 2.4.x as FreeBSD did with their support or do we merge a scsi layer driver that can actually make use of the command queueing (not neccessarily tagged) on the device and/or the hardware XOR engine.
