Problems with HP Proliant ML110 Server

[Mats Hellman]

Hello list,

as a new Fedora user I'm having trouble getting the soon to be new mailserver 
up and running. As the topic says it's a ML 110 with a Promise FastTrack 150 
SATA controller, there are 2 Maxtor 160Gb SATA drives in it right now in RAID 
1 to have some kind of failsafe. 
The controller should use the sata_sx4 module but as anaconda starts loading 
the module the system freezes.
The only distributions that boot on it are RedHat 9.0 and Gentoo. Redhat boots 
due to the drivers Promise has supplied. And Gentoo sees the RAID 1 drives as 
two separate drives.
As this will be a public server I can't have an old outdated distro running on 
it. I've been looking at both CentOS and Fedora but since we use a lot of 
Fedora at work it seams like the natural choice. If anyone has any good ideas 
on where to start troubleshooting I'd be glad to hear them. Also if further 
information on the server is needed I'll supply it.
Naturally it would be nice to use the Promise drivers for RH9 if possible but 
any other solutions are welcome.
